BAD LIEUTENANT (1992) - ♦♦♦♦

Directed by - Abel Ferrara

Written by - Victor Argo, Paul Calderon, Abel Ferrara, Zoe Lund

Starring - Harvey Keitel

"The story of a corrupt New York cop, the titular bad lieutenant, with a serious drug addiction as he investigates on a young nun’s violent rape. 

Abel Ferrara's Bad Lieutenant is a gritty and haunting look at the corruption and destruction of the soul is disturbing and sometimes down right shocking as well as certainly being one of the most brutally honest ever brought to the screen. 

Harvey Keitel contributes to the film's dark and sometimes twisted nature wholly, with his brave performance that required a physical as well as mental commitment. It is also through his performance that the chaotic nature of the film gels extremely well together, and that Bad Lieutenant's sinister Alice in Wonderland fashioned descent into decadence is grippingly intense."
