Herzog directs a brilliant performance by Nicolas Cage as bad cop Terence McDonough in this high-octane black comedy crime drama. The viewer rides shotgun with Cage as he prowls a depopulated New Orleans as the lead on a multiple homicide case and in search of his next fix. “Essentially a documentarian, Herzog has always been as concerned with location as with character; Bad Lieutenant is as much about the sorry state of New Orleans as it is about that of the protagonist’s mental health” (J. Hoberman, Village Voice).
