Nicholas Cage is a cop in post-Katrina New Orleans. He shakes down people for drugs, gambles badly on sports, smokes crack with criminals and threatens to kill old ladies.
Yes, he's bad. He's a bad lieutenant. Somewhere in this two hour film is a murder plot, but it's secondary to Cage's over the top performance that people will love or hate. This film has nothing to do with the Harvey Keitel version from the nineties.
For me, it's about the trust between director Werner Herzog and Cage.
Has Herzog found a new Klaus Kinski? I'd watch another film with these two crazy kids.
