Sometimes there isn’t anything new to say, just new ways of saying it. And I think this movie showed a nervous breakdown and drug-induced insanity in a unique way.

Yeah it was a lot of fun, but that doesn’t make it a great film. Trouble is so much of the fun comes from Cage’s performance, the rest of the film doesn’t live up to it. Plus it didn’t have a great deal new to say.

I couldn’t give this movie less than 8. It was hilarious, audacious and different. Nicolas Cage was so good I felt sorry for the lousy career he’s had lately. Why isn’t he giving more performances like this on a regular basis?

I took two friends with me to watch this and both thanked me for it, we had a great time. It was so over the top! Cinema doesn’t hold surprises like The Bad Lieutenant very often these days.

I enjoyed the film, but it did have its shortcomings.

Just to clear this up, I do like to be accurate with ratings, so to me to give something a six out of ten, would make that film avenge, BL isn’t quite that poored, but like wise the flaws do prevent it from being good enough to be a seven I guess to sum up, it wasn’t quite the film I was hoping, but did have its moments, and the Cage performance lifted it.

Half stars are cool in my book!

Ah, so the half stars are your conversions from a six-star rating system? I wondered about that… I have to say I think using half-stars when you have 10 to make good with is a bit flippant, but, on the other hand, when I was younger I sometimes gave out ratings with 7 or 8 decimals, just for the heck of it…

My mistake – corrected to 6.5!

“3.75″? Is that out of 10…?

I am seeing this one soon and very much looking forward to it. A good point about Herzog’s problem with strong female roles – HAS he ever managed it??
