Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans

Nic Cage is truly at his best when he is playing all-out crazy characters and this movie is no exception.  The story is very dark (set during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina), yet Cage is still able to bring some comedic elements to the mix.  He really carries the film, so much so that I don't think it would've been half as enjoyable if the lead was played by any other actor.  Val Kilmer and Eva Mendes do a solid supporting job, but this movie is really just the Nic Cage show.



4 out of 5 stars
