Full reviewNicolas Cage is a corrupt, drug-snorting, gambling-addicted, very bad lieutenant in Oscar nominee Werner Herzog's remake of the 1992 Harvey Keitel crime thriller. Set after Hurricane Katrina, detective Terence McDonagh investigates the drug-related killing of a family but his mounting debt, drugged-out girlfriend, and his generally awful behaviour prevent the case from getting solved.

Full reviewBad Lieutenant doesn't go where you expect, but it has a stubborn, trippy logic.
Full reviewNo one is better at this kind of performance than Nicolas Cage. He's a fearless actor. He doesn't care if you think he goes over the top. If a film calls for it, he will crawl to the top hand over hand with bleeding fingernails.
Full reviewBad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans is available to stream in Australia now on Stan and Google Play.
