Will watch this later, looks good.

[Thomas Balkcom]

need to watch this sometime this weekend

[Sic Transit Zeb]

I didn't really like it, honestly. Good acting though.

[aolsux]

my movie of the year so far, seriously, a fucking powerhouse performance by Cage and wonderfully written script with pristine direction by Hertzog.

[WakingTheMisery]

Did this make it to theaters? I remember hearing the studio chopped it for a direct to DVD.

Although production on the film was completed in 2008, the film did not quickly find a distributor for a wide release. The film had its world premiere at the 2009 Venice Film Festival, and was also screened at the 2009 Toronto Film Festival and the 2009 Telluride Film Festival. The film's American release will be distributed by First Look Studios, with a release date of November 20, 2009.

I just downloaded it however

[Mitch]

I hate Cage.

[WakingTheMisery]

Hm... I'll have to check it out if it is still up on Ninja.

[irthesteve]

I hate Cage.
don't watch this movie

[drudo182]

I'm interested but I keep hearing that it's so bad, that's what it actually makes it good. Not sure what to believe. I hear that and then stuff about it being Cage's best role since ... whatever.

I watched the original a month or so ago. I liked it but didn't love it. Wouldn't ever watch it again.

this isn't exactly a remake, it is just being marketed as so to gain buzz or some shit like that:

Although being promoted as a remake of Bad Lieutenant (1992) during its early production, director Werner Herzog claims that this is not a remake. He says he has never seen the original and therefore does not consider this movie a remake. Additionally, producers seemed to have added "Bad Lieutenant" to the title in order to get a better marketing. Whether remake, re-imagining, follow-up or none of the aforementioned, both movies are clearly connected by the basic plot of following a drug addicted, violent cop during his encounters with crime and sex.

The movie is intense, has good acting, but is really fucking weird at alot of parts... i would find it a stretch to say it's really bad though. i understand not enjoying it, but that is different from being bad

[drudo182]

Wonder when they'll decide if it's going straight to DVD or not (if they haven't). I'm really interested in it for Cage and Herzog.

[deadkidsean]

It's great. I prefer the first film with the same name, though. Lots of Keitel dong.

[gusta0117]

its not straight to dvd. i have seen that it is in theaters although i havent seen it yet (my gf hates nicolas cage) im waiting for the road to come around this way

[drudo182]

We haven't even gotten The Road yet. Apparently it's in Kansas City, just not where I'm at.

[IAmNietzche]

Awesome film. Also has the single best scene of the year.

i did not like The Road... way too slow and needed a plot

[irthesteve]

Awesome film. Also has the single best scene of the year.
which scene? (spoiler it) the igunana scene? haha

[IAmNietzche]

which scene? (spoiler it) the igunana scene? haha
soul dancing

[irthesteve]

soul dancing
-Shoot him again
-what for?
-his soul's still dacing

then Nic Cage laughs like a fucking maniac

[secretsociety92]

Can't catch this in any theatres near me so I have reserved it as a rental for when it is released on DVD.

[irthesteve]

Weird that it isn't wide release for some places, I just checked and it is playing at 4 theaters within 10 miles of me.

DVD release is Feb 23

[drudo182]

It's nowhere near me so I don't know if we'll get it anytime soon.

[ikikwe]

Saw it, and so glad I did. Nicholas Cage is absolutely awesome in it, as is basically everything else in the movie. Definitely in my top 10 for the year.

[NKYVox]

This film was bad.....Val Kilmer and Nic Cage were fantastic though.

I have to ask why you feel this way. Nicholas Cage basically made the movie.

This. Loved it.

[narcoleptic953]

This movie was ridiculous.

[Thomas Balkcom]

[Gaugzilla]

I think most can agree that this was the most insane movie of 2009.

[poppa Q]

movie is great

[ImTheSheriff]

i enjoyed it, but i wouldn't say it was that great.

[narcoleptic953]

Cage's performance IS great, and the movie has a few absolutely classic moments. I probably wouldn't call it great either though.

[Full Effect Ed]

"Shoot him again...his soul is still dancing"

Loved it, GREAT movie (sorry guys, it really was)

You don't have a lucky crack pipe?
