I finally broke my Ferrara cherry. A very grim film that takes itself too seriously, it works as a morality tale rather than a police drama, and contains a very good Keitel performance.

A film of extreme violence stark, explicit and straight. The deconstruction of the man himself completely, exposing all his misfortunes and leading him to a descent into hell. Funny how this movie remember Mean Streets, the conflict between the "religion" and the law of the streets and life in the world of men, but is as something that i once heard, Ferrara is a "Scorsese without a condom."

so diferent roads... In Ferrara's movie there's almost a Biblical arch that Harvey Keitel goes trough, but in Herzog's film it looks like Cage's carachter is "superior" or almost impervious to any kind of guilt (he's a "bad" guy and he gets away with everything, unlike Harvey's lieutenant)

I'm not sure if I really like this one, or did I just tought it was good. Harvey Keitel gives one of his best performances, and it's amazing to see Lieutenant self-destruction, untill the final minutes of the movie, where he redims himself. I don't know witch "Lieutenant" I like the most, Cage or Keitel? There both so alike and so distinct. Both movies begin from the same premisse but they choose

Harvey Keitel is one screwed up cop. Strong, raw film with a nasty but brilliant central performance.

Harvey Keitel fazendo o que ele saber fazer melhor: morrer devagarinho enquanto geme chorando.

A powerhouse performance from Keitel. He makes this an absolute must-see just to see his brilliance.

I just watched this today and Harvey Keitel's performance has become one of my favorites, of any actor's, within any film.

In my humble opinion this film is quite simply the best take on the fragility of the human spirit. There has not been a better film about redemption in the last 18 years! Why is Abel so criminally ignored? Someone out there (in the distribution business) please get your act together and release special editions of this man's films! My Bad Lieutenant is the Black Cat edition from France... excellent DVD. More please!

The scene where Keitel blasts the car radio to hell when the Dodgers lose Game 4 of the World Series is probably one of the finest moments of 90's cinema.

An incredible piece of acting, 1st time I saw this I was just shaken. You wonder how far down a man can sink & then it gets WORSE. I always thought that Ken Kelsch's camera made me feel like the Grim Reaper following the Lt around. Might be Keitel's finest performance. It's almost too bad it's in a film that makes you feel filthy after you watch it.
