Here’s a film that’s been flying under my radar: Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans. Directed by the famed Werner Herzog (Rescue Dawn), who most recently voiced a plastic bag for a film short, Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans is a remake/update (of sorts) of 1992’s Bad Lieutenant starring Harvey Keitel.
While it’s true that the posters for the new film have been pretty, err, boring, the trailer that’s just been released is all kinds of crazy, and has succeeded in getting me excited for the film. You can watch it below, or head over to Yahoo for the HD version.
In this version of the film, we see Nic Cage as Terrence McDonagh, a lieutenant with a back problem who goes from bad to worse as he becomes involved with drugs, theft, and sexual bribery. Eva Mendes shows up as a prostitute named Frankie who also serves as Terrence’s love interest.
