Director: Werner Herzog
I was pretty sure when I heard about this movie that it would be the greatest thing ever. Nicolas Cage gets a lot of flack from wags who criticize his choice of roles or the fact that he is seemingly unable to make a film in which he doesn't freak out. So what about making a movie where you know going in that he's going to freak out?
It's hard to know whether I would have forgiven the total absurdity of this film if Herzog were not the man behind the camera. Bad Lieutenant: PoCNO plays at times like the trashiest of genre pictures, and its being shot on a digital camera occasionally makes it look like a direct-to-DVD film. But if I know all that going in, how can I be disappointed?
