Bad Lieutenant, the new Nicolas Cage staring vehicle directed by Werner Herzog, is not a remake or sequel to the Harvey Keitel in story or soul as it seems. Having not seen the original can't vouch for how closely they are but I have heard from others that the original is reprehensible. After seeing the red band trailer for this film I was hoping for a crazy acting Nicolas Cage film from start to beginning, I was let down. There are a few crazy/odd moments, such as the "soul dancing" segment but on large it seemed to follow the standard hollywood formula with a happy ending. Not a terrible film, just a big letdown. I expect more from Werner Herzog. The picture above seems like it is from a totally different film.
