Summary From legendary German director Werner Herzog (Aguirre, Wrath of God; Fitzcarraldo), Bad lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans was shot on location in the Louisiana city during the summer of 2008. It is based on, but NOT a sequel to NOR a remake of the film by Abel Ferrara. Academy Award winner Nicholas Cage stars as Terence McDonagh, a rogue detective who is as devoted to his job as he is at scoring drugs while playing fast and loose with the law. He wields his badge as often as he wields his gun in order to get his way. In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina he became a high-functioning drug addict who is a deeply intuitive, fearless detective reigning over the beautiful ruins of New Orleans with authority and abandon. Complicating his tumultuous life is the prostitute he loves, Frankie Donnenfield (Eva Mendes). Together they descend into their own world marked by desire, compulsion, and conscience. The result is a singular masterpiece of filmmaking: equally sad and maniacally humorous
