Werner Herzog’s rough remake of the Abel Ferrara’s 1992 film “Bad Lieutenant,” “Bad Lieutenant:  Port of Call New Orleans” is heading to US waters, after screenings in Venice and Toronto.  David Edelstein of New York Magazine tackles the film, “In Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans (a sequel to Abel Ferrara’s Bad Lieutenant in name only), [Nicholas Cage] plays Terence McDonagh, whose back is injured as he saves a prisoner …  

Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans: When the news broke at Cannes last year that Nicolas Cage and Werner Herzog were remaking Abel Ferrara's Bad Lieutenant, everyone thought it was a joke. But less than a year and a half later, their movie touched down in Toronto and turned into the festival's biggest surprise.... From NOW Magazine.  

The joke's on someone in Werner Herzog's awkwardly titled Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans. Possibly Abel Ferrara who, exploding in fury when he learned that the German conquistador was planning to remake his 1992 career movie, opined that Herzog and his accomplices (among them, ...  

Werner Herzog and Nicolas Cage whoop it up in New Orleans. by J.R. Jones Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans Directed by Werner Herzog | Written by William Finkelstein When I first read about Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans, it was described as a sequel to Bad Lieutenant, Abel Ferrara's 1992 cult favorite about a drug- and gambling-addicted police detective in New York City...  

Werner Herzog's new film Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans has raised all kinds of hackles, mainly over the "remake" issue. Some movie buffs are crying foul over the remaking of Abel Ferrara's classic Bad Lieutenant (1992), including Ferrara himself, who launched some famously acid comments in the press.

Cinema's wildest and wiliest animal, Werner Herzog has recently flirted with domestic respectability — casting Batman Christian Bale in his manic war movie Rescue Dawn, and winning some of the best reviews of his career for his bear-bites-man documentary Grizzly Man. So when he cast National Treasure's Nicolas Cage to star in his in-name-only remake of Abel Ferrara's Bad Lieutenant, well, we worried. We should have known better. Bad...  

When I first heard director Werner Herzog and Nicolas Cage were going to make a remake/re-imagining /reboot of Abel Ferrara’s insane 1992 film Bad Lieutenant, I’ll admit I wasn’t excited.  For some reason I thought they’d fuck it up or the movie would be another Nicolas Cage performance where he was just going through the motions I [...]  

From the official website of valiant filmmaker Werner Herzog's delightfully bonkers new feature, Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans, which should not be called a remake of Abel Ferrara's grimy 1992 cult classic: Nicolas Cage plays 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...
