Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans

In Werner Herzog’s new film “The Bad Lieutenant: Port Of Call New Orleans,” Nicolas Cage plays a rogue detective who is as devoted to his job as he is at scoring drugs -- while playing fast and loose with the law. He wields his badge as often as he wields his gun in order to get his way. In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina he becomes a high-functioning addict who is a deeply intuitive, fearless detective reigning over the beautiful ruins of New Orleans with authority and abandon. Complicating his tumultuous life is the prostitute he loves (played by Eva Mendes). Together they descend into their own world marked by desire, compulsion, and conscience. The result is a singular masterpiece of filmmaking: equally sad and manically humorous.

The film stars Nicolas Cage, Eva Mendes, Val Kilmer and Alvin "Xzibit" Joiner.

The film is produced by Avi Lerner, Danny Dimbort, Trevor Short, Boaz Davidson, Elliot Lewis Rosenblatt, Allesandro Camon, Stephen Belafonte, Alan Polsky, Gabe Polsky, Randall Emmett, John Thompson and Edward. R Pressman.
