One of the best films I have seen in a long, long time.

Surprisingly, an astonishingly good performance from Cage.

It is out now at UK cinemas, but has been available to watch via, er, other sources for quite a while.

Bad Lieutenant? Is it a remake of Kietels film?

No - there are some similarities with the main character, but that's it. Quite different films really, not directly comparable.

I saw this some time ago, and it is brilliant. A lot funnier than I was expecting and one of Nick Cages best performances since Leaving Los Vegas.

If they changed the name and removed any link to the Harvey Keitel Bad Lieutenant I think it would have done so much better. There really is nothing to link the two films, other than they are both about very naughty policeman.

This one is much better than the origional, and that was a pretty good film.

These chaps don't give five stars out lightly.
