Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans--Good or Bad?

It's another Nicolas Cage film. Let's talk about the film. I don't need to say more about Cage's performance. Bad Lieutenant or Good Lieutenant? Obviously not. Obviously not. Obviously not. Obviously not. Obviously not. Obviously not. If someone wrote this film to change from bad to good, obviously not. The protagonist did not change much from the beginning to the end. He was a good policeman from the beginning; otherwise he would not have gone to the guy who was about to drown. The middle is not bad to any extent; it is just drug use, and in the end, getting the award is just completing the task that should be completed.

All kinds of conflicts around him were dissolved in an instant. What did the protagonist do? I don't think so. When he gave the silver spoon to GF, there seemed to be some hints of transformation (to be honest, the bridge of the silver spoon felt a bit stiff in insertion), but it was not particularly obvious. According to general standards, he is indeed not a good policeman, but it is quite ironic that he did solve the case, save people, and get a promotion. Some people may say that it is because his nature is good. Is that so? What do the reptiles in the film represent? The crocodile, the lizard (or not) that showed up a few times, and that nimble floor action. It's quite an interesting movie.
