Bad Lieutenant description Proving that he may be the most fearless actor of his or any other generation, Harvey Keitel gives an amazing, no-holds-barred performance in director Abel Ferrara's uncompromising 1992 film about a New York cop on the edge of self-annihilation. The film's title is meant to be taken literally: Keitel's character has no redeeming values whatsoever, save ... review details |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | this might be the worst movie ever made ... |
| ... except that it's not really a movie. movies have dialogue and character interaction and plot. this film does not. most of the running time is unrelated scenes of harvey keitel doing drugs with random people and being an immoral scumbag in general. i can accept evil, unlikeable characters as long as they are doing something interesting. but the first half hour of this film is scenes that might as well have been from different movies. nothing connects them except for the presence of keitel. we don't know who any of the supporting characters are, since none of them are even given names that i remember.
the plot, if it can be called that, revolves around keitel's reckless gambling, and the violent rape of a nun. he is somehow given the case, although why remains a mystery. he certainly doesn't spend any of the film doing actual police work. he's supposed to be a cop, but don't cops have to do police work sometimes? he spends most of the movie doing drugs and wandering aimlessly from scene to scene. and most of the scenes are unwatchable. the scene where he pulls over the young women and basically coerces them into a sex act is pretty much the most reprehensible thing i've ever scene. the agonizing rape of the nun, and keitel's insane rambling confession to jesus are also pretty much impossible to watch. the real problem is that we have no idea how he became such a godawful human being in the first place. he has a wife and kids, but exactly how he manages that is also a mystery, since he again spends most of the movie drugged out of his mind, passed out in random locations. that he actually has a family and a job was probably the most unbelievable part of the film. there is simply no way keitel could behave the way he does without his family and fellow police officers catching on. the film had no credibility whatsoever. and the end? well, let's just say that it made no sense, and leave it at that. it was probably the most pointless and idiotic ending in movie history. the only redeeming quality of the film is keitel's absolutely unflinching performance. it's amazing really, but he wasted it on a horrible film. if you want to see a good movie with keitel, watch reservior dogs. if you want to see a good movie by abel ferrara, watch king of new york. |
