Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans – 7.5

Totally over-the-top performance by Nicolas Cage, one of my favorite ott actors, in film by Werner Herzog, my favorite ott director. Corrupt on the outside, with great police instincts on the inside, our lieutenant with the consuming drug addiction found new ways to be hysterical in every scene and somehow made me root for his amoral ride through life. The happy ending was a neat bit of legerdemain. An interesting film to compare with Crazy Heart.
