Bad Lieutenant

"An exhilarating riff on the cop-thriller drama by a director at the top of his game, powered by an incendiary performance from Nicolas Cage. A very bad lieutenant, then. And a bloody good film. (...) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of five)" 

"A pulpy, glorious mess. Its maniacal unpredictability (..) Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans' is no masterpiece, but it is undoubtedly the work of a master." 

"No 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. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of four)"  

"Rather than a conventional remake, it's a whole new take on the 1992 cult classic (...) If the new film commits the sin of entertainment, it's redeemed by a sense of life's contradictions and distinguished by surreal flourishes"
