Bad Lieutenant - Port of Call New Orleans: The eminent director Werner Herzog has just bolstered his reputation for legendary eccentricity. His latest feature is a remake of the pulpy 1992 crime drama Bad Lieutenant. The original was a way-over-the-top picture starring Harvey Keitel as a drug-abusing NYPD officer investigating a particularly revolting crime. Not so much a remake as a reimagining, Port of Call New Orleans stars Nicolas Cage as a burnt-out cop in post-Katrina New Orleans. Roger Ebert, an ardent admirer of Herzog's work, named it one of the Top Ten Mainstream Films of 2009. Having said that, Ebert's laudatory review was probably not the majority opinion. Co-Starring: Eva Mendes and Val Kilmer.
