Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans

Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans (2009) is a dark, surreal crime drama directed by Werner Herzog and starring Nicolas Cage in one of his most unhinged and electrifying performances. The film follows a corrupt, drug-addicted New Orleans police lieutenant investigating the murder of five Senegalese immigrants while navigating his own chaotic descent into madness. Unlike the 1992 film, Herzog’s version leans into a bizarre and dreamlike atmosphere, blending intense crime drama with dark humor and hallucinatory sequences. Featuring Eva Mendes, Val Kilmer, and Xzibit, this film is a wild, unpredictable ride through the underbelly of post-Katrina New Orleans.
