Absolutely freakin' awful....
I turned it off after about 45 minutes to an hour.
I cannot believe how bad it was!!!
If you didn't finish it, then you're opinion means nothing. This was a great movie.

I watched the whole thing and I thought it stunk like dirty laundry.

Actually, if he turned it off, that means the movie was really that bad, and his opinion should matter just as much.
*beep* this movie. The original is so much better.
The "original" isn't actually the original. The producers tacked on the "Bad Lieutenant" title against Herzog's wishes, who didn't even see the original. Besides some superficial similarities, they're very different. The original is a dark, disturbing drama with a brilliant performance from Keitel, and this is more of a very funny dark comedy with a brilliant performance from Cage. Though I do agree that Ferrara's movie is better than this one (and Keitel's performance is better), this is still an excellent film. Why do you feel it's so bad?
shareWithout Cage this film would be a grade A turkey. With Cage it rises to mediocre, but nothing more. The script is pretty awful and can't make up its mind what sort of film its supposed to be. Wenders direction is arty and very european but the film ends up promising much but delivering little.
The critics have gone ga ga for it for some reason, but i can't understand why.
I don't see what makes it awful. Cage is quite believable as this character--he is a very watchable train wreck. He's messed up just like the city was messed up post-Katrina. It's not a typical movie or a typical plot, and you just have to let that go. The minor characters are all believalbe, too. It was nice to see Val Kilmer in something after so many flops. My 2 cents anyway....
shareLol, Wim Wenders did not direct this movie!
I got news for 'em. There's gonna be hell to pay. 'Cause I ain't Daddy's little boy no more.
Well I mean I wouldn't call it awful. Its just very unusual. I'm torn between liking it and hating it myself, so I've just gonna average it and say its an OK movie!
shareIt shouldn't matter just as much; if you didn't see the whole thing, then you aren't qualified to judge the film as a whole... All it proves is that you have a short attention span.

It's a brilliantly manic and imaginatively made film.
It was made for intelligent viewers. Not for people like you.
