Josh Olson on Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call - New Orleans

Werner Herzog's weird non-sequel to Abel Ferrera's Bad Lieutenant is one of the wildest flyers a director has taken with someone else's material, especially considering it's completely divorced from the original. It's certainly bizarre, and not since star Nic Cage devoured a cockroach in Vampire's Kiss has he gone so far out on an acting limb--even sawing it off as you watch. And has anyone noticed that Val Kilmer's co-starring role seems to have almost vanished in the editing room?
