Review of Bad Lieutenant (1992) by Scott M — 31 Oct 2016

This was Taxi Driver on crack. There were no glimpses of humanity or redemption (unless you count his hilariously misguided actions at the end.) This movie was pure nihilism and completely and convincingly portrays a man spinning out of control.

I was right there with him the whole time. The direction and Keitel's performance and the setpieces take you right there to hell and you can't help but be dragged down by it.
