Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans (2009)

Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans (2009). This movie blows! No other word for it. It was slow, boring, and not much to keep a viewer interested.

Cage's performance (to me) is likened to that in Leaving Las Vegas but way worse. Actually, I guess he didn't do a bad job of portraying an ailing man with back problems shotgunning Vicodin and cocaine. It was just very reminiscent of a drunk like in Leaving Las Vegas.

Also, Cage's character was very similar to Denzel Washington's in Training Day. Not anywhere as good as a movie or performance, but the gist of character is similar - good cop turned bad cop - but Cage's character fared way better in the end.

Anyway, I would definitely pass on this movie. Cage and Eva Mendes teamed up again (they were in Ghost Rider together, right?). Mendes played an apparent high-dollar prostitute and love interest of Cage. The problem is that she never once showed T&A. Not a huge deal as I don't find her that attractive but c'mon, she's playing a prostitute. T&A should have been a given, DUH! Val Kilmer has a small part and he didn't look so ugly and bloated but definitely not the Iceman we loved him for.

Anyway, FINAL VERDICT: definitely would pass on watching this one.
