The only criminal he can't catch is himself.

Abel Ferrara's cult crime-drama BAD LIEUTENANT is given a new twist with this Werner Herzog-helmed production that takes its inspiration from the original, but focuses on new characters, plotlines and a new setting in New Orleans. Nicolas Cage (Con Air, Matchstick Men, Leaving Las Vegas, Adaptation) steps into Harvey Keitel's mould of a corrupt and drug-addled police officer, with the scummy setting moving from New York City to New Orleans. Co-stars Val Kilmer (Batman Forever), rapper Xzibit and Eva Mendes (Hitch, We Own The Night, Ghost Rider) Written by William M. Finkelstein (TVs NYPD Blue, Law & Order, L.A. Law, L.A. Law: The Movie) Winner of a Venice Film Festival 2009 Award also nominated for the Golden Lion award.
