Herzog's continuing discovery of America, 19 December 2009
8/10
Author: laursene from New York NY

Put this between covers with "Huey's Sermon," "God's Angry Man," and Stroszek" as another chapter in Herzog's long-term discovery of America. The madness, the obsession, the crazies. Where do they get these people??

To be realistic: Nicholas Cage's performance is a shuck. There's more madness, real and performed, in one casual look over Klaus Kinski's shoulder in any of the films he made with Herzog than in all the rants and fits Cage throws in "Bad Lieutenant." But isn't that the point? This is America, not Europe. We're all watching ourselves on TV, and that includes Lt. McDonagh (similar to the name of his character in "Raising Arizona"). Is his craziness the result of chronic back pain, drug addiction, or an act he's putting on as he desperately tries to get himself out of the multiple jams he's in? Part of this movie is set in a casino, and in a way the BL's whole story is about a roll of the dice (or two). Part of what you see is real, part of it's performance. Maybe, by now, Herzog knows us better than we know ourselves.

FYI, Cage played a similar role, disturbingly, in the unjustly neglected "Vampire's Kiss." This one is more mature, more thought out. Outrageous and brilliant.
