About the Movie

Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call: New Orleans is a 2009 American crime drama film directed by Werner Herzog and starring Nicolas Cage. The film was released on November 20, 2009.

It appears to borrow superficially from Abel Ferrara’s 1992 film, Bad Lieutenant, which featured a crooked cop (Harvey Keitel), who is a drug addict and takes sexual favors as bribes. The film’s director, however, insists that it is not a sequel or a remake.
