This is A very pertinent comment. Although "Bad Lieutenant" is not a good work, it feels quite satisfactory, and Werner Herzog's Hollywood trip is considered to be a shame, but it is not too bright. But it is precisely because of Nicholas Cage's good performance that he thoroughly played the image of a lieutenant policeman between swing and justice and evil. With his hair straightened out of chaos, the waist that couldn't be straightened due to spine pain, and his half-sagged shoulders, his cynicism was beyond words. At the same time, as a policeman, his professional requirements and inner justice prompted him to jump into the cold water to rescue a prisoner after the typhoon in New Orleans, and when faced with the murder case, he tried his best to solve the case. However, in order to solve the case, his methods were not so glorious. In order to find witnesses, he held a gun against the old woman's head, and took off another old woman's oxygen inhaler, and even planted it. At the same time, because of his spine problems, he still abused drugs, detained drugs confiscated in the police station, and cooperated with drug dealers in drug trafficking. In order to be the girlfriend of a prostitute, he does not hesitate to offend the underworld bosses and political magnates. Justice and evil are strangely mixed in this police officer, and a flower of evil is bloomed. Because of Nicholas Cage, this film has become his one-man show. The impressive performance completely overwhelmed the performance of other characters. After starring in many bad films, Cage finally proved his strength. exist. Perhaps it is precisely this kind of role that is suitable for him to star. In recent years, he has been very keen on magical or fantasy films, but there are not many brilliant films. Cage should really reflect on the vision of film selection. Click it.
As for what everyone thinks of him, Cage is actually conscious, and he does not deny the decline of his acting career in recent years: "Yes, many people said to me, I think your current movies are not as good as they used to be. It looks good, I think, maybe my own thinking can't keep up with everyone." Now that I understand, I should think about it when choosing a film. However, looking at his words, it seems that this kind of reflection has not been reflected. It is estimated that in the future, he will continue to accept his bad movies. I just don't know, in the continuous bad films, the audience will completely abandon him.
Regarding "Bad Lieutenant", as a remake, it has little to do with "Bad Lieutenant" in 1992. However, the original director Abel Ferrara was still indignant and even angry: "For this I protest I don’t know how many times, I can say with certainty that I will never forgive this remake. Everyone who participated in the filming of this film should go to hell! The director Werner Herzog is totally a People who don’t understand movies at all, Nicholas Cage can’t be compared with Harvey Keitel at all, and screenwriter William Finkelstein is also an idiot!”
However, on many rankings in 2009 , "Bad Lieutenant" has not received low reviews, most of it is because of Nicholas Cage's performance, he was once the actor, after all, he is still the actor.
