The Bad Lieutenant : Port Of Call - New Orleans (2009) 7/10

Starring : Nicolas Cage, Eva Mendes, Val Kilmer, Fairuza Balk, Alvin Xzibit Joiner, Shawn Hatosy
Director : Werner Herzog
Running Time : 117 mins

After injuring himself when he rescues a trapped prisoner during the floods caused by Hurricane Katrina, Lieutenant Terence McDonagh (Cage) becomes addicted to pain killers and starts putting the pursuit of money and drugs ahead of his job. Assigned to investigate the murder of a family involved in a drug deal, McDonagh chooses to make allegiances with drug dealers rather than properly investigate the crime.

Some parts of this movie were very weird, what with Cage's character being a drug addict and all, but it wasn't over played and it worked pretty well, Nicolas Cage is on good form here, and it's nice to see that he is still able to play manic anti-heroes like he did back in his heyday.
