Film Comment

Herzog’s movie has expedience and exploitation written all over it. But it’s too weird and unhinged and endearing—and, for all its sordid details, too ingenuous—to be anything but a labor of love.

Roger Ebert

"No one is better at this kind of performance than Nicolas Cage. He’s a fearless actor. He doesn’t care if you think he goes over the top. If a film calls for it, he will crawl to the top hand over hand with bleeding fingernails."

FilmJabber

The Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans is a shockingly entertaining, gritty and enjoyable cop drama... Cage is unbelievably incredible. The movie isn't for everyone, but for the right audiences, it is one of the best movies of 2009.

Reelviews

Herzog and Cage provide an effective and compelling look at how Terence's struggles with his demons lead to the slow disintegration of his moral compass. By the film's midpoint, Terence isn't 'evil'; he's amoral.

Common Sense Media

Extreme 'bad cop' depravity is definitely family-unfriendly.

IMDb

"Werner Herzog has crafted a sincerely bizarre, wild ride; a rare and special cinematic experience that will appeal to--and thrill--aficionados of superior, if idiosyncratic storytelling."
