First Trailer for Nic Cage’s Bad Lieutenant Movie

Oh, how the mighty have fallen. Nicolas Cage won an Academy Award in 1995 for Leaving Las Vegas. Now, in 2009 he stars in Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans. Not only is that a horrible title, but the trailer is bad, the cast is wasted, and this looks like a complete disaster of a film. Before I continue trashing this movie, let me say, I really like Nicolas Cage. I enjoyed Knowing. I think the National Treasure movies are good. The Rock, Gone in 60 Seconds, and Face/Off are all great Nic Cage movies. But this is where I draw the line. In Bad Lieutenant Cage plays a drug addicted police officer who is loosing his mind. Check out the trailer and leave us some feedback.

Bad Lieutenant also stars Eva Mendes, Val Kilmer, and Jennifer Coolidge. The movie is a remake of a 1992 Harvey Keitel film and is being directed by Werner Herzog. The trailer shows Cage loosing his mind, but this just isn’t a good first impression. It looks all over the place, but not in a good way. It is set for release this December. What are your thoughts? Am I being too harsh or does this movie look like a mess?
