Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans is raw and it's uncomfortable. It's post-Katrina New Orleans as much as the refrigerators and and gutted homes. The camera follows Lieutenant Terrence McDonagh's struggle to fight the corruption of K-Ville and the personal hell that haunts his every move. Dealing with his addiction to pain killers, we watch as McDonagh's life spirals out of control. Hallucinations and gritty, almost terrifying, soundtrack aid to show the desperation of a man losing it all. Eva Mendes' portrayal of an unapologetic call girl is beautiful. Even rapper Xibit shines as Big Fate, a betrayed NOLA drug lord. Herzog is brilliant. This gem is not for the faint of heart.
I've never written a movie review! :) I was pretty excited to try my hand at it. Comments and criticisms welcome.
