Review: Nicolas Cage slithers through ‘Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans’

Nicolas Cage and Eva Mendes share love and a drug connection in “Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans.”
From a drug-addled haze, homicide detective Terence McDonagh tells a paramour, “Whatever I take is prescription … except for the heroin.”
And the cocaine, marijuana and powerful painkillers (admittedly prescription, just not for him) he can score from drug dealers or intimidated club kids or customers of his prostitute-girlfriend, played by Eva Mendes, or directly from the police property room.
Cameras have nothing on Terence, who knows all about blind spots, about cadging just enough powder so that the remainder still qualifies for a felony charge, and about disposing of pesky voucher copies.
