Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Proving that he may be the most fearless actor of his or any other generation, Harvey Keitel gives an amazing, no-holds-barred performance in director Abel Ferrara's uncompromising 1992 film about a New York cop on the edge of self-annihilation. The film's title is meant to be taken literally: Keitel's character has no redeeming values whatsoever, save for his desperate need for redemption. Leonard Maltin's Movie & Video Guide is correct in calling this an "over-the-top Catholic guilt movie," but it's been made with such conviction that Ferrara and Keitel transcend the sheer unpleasantness of the material to give it a kind of tragic divinity. Here's a character so vile and corrupted that he consumes or re-sells the drugs he confiscates, but when he's assigned to investigate the brutal rape of a nun who refuses to press charges, he feels that this is his opportunity to redeem his rotten soul. Deservedly rated NC-17 due to its rough content and a frontal nude scene that even Keitel's most loyal fans could do without, this film tends to divide viewers into love-it-or-hate-it categories, but few could deny its raw power and the deeply anguished humanity that Keitel brings to his role. Whatever your reaction may be, few would deny this is an unforgettable film. --Jeff Shannon Average Rating:
 Rating:  - They should've named this one "Bad Movie"Very rarely does a film irk me to the level of writing a one-star review. Don't get me wrong, I like Harvey Keitel's acting and most of his films feature hard-core performances but "Bad Lieutenant" was just plain "Bad". "Bad Lieutenant" takes a look at the down-trodden life (if you can call it a life) of a junkie cop from New York's mean streets. Keitel's character doesnt even really have a name and frankly I didnt care if he did. His character didnt have one redeeming quality; even ... Read More Rating: - Bad Lieutenant "bad movie"If you like the Piano dont expect this movie to have any of that quality or thought provoking romantic trajedy. The entire movie should be rated PG if you just dont show the nun in the hospital bed naked which by the way is the only nudity in the film. Which was absolutly unescessary. (didnt show any of the reported trauma) People here talk about how shocking and hard hitting it was!!! WHERE... and When.. take any drunk with a chip on his shoulder and you have more excitement than this movie. Read More Rating:  - Brilliant, transcendental film, easily Ferrara's best work...This is one of the most notorious films of the 1990's, a really stunning piece of filmmaking. It's Abel Ferrara's best film, one of Keitel's most powerful, shocking performances, and a film that despite the intensely visceral, borderline sleazy material, manages somehow to be spiritual and transcendent by the end. Keitel is a cop with no name (he's never referred by anything other than Lieutenant) who is corrupt to the bone. He's a junkie, a gambler, an alcoholic, and hangs out with ... Read More Rating:  - Bad LieutenantIn this movie Harvey Kietel does more drugs, drinks more alcohol, and shoots his gun while driving his police car than most criminals do in the course of their day. Harvey drops his kids off at school then does coke. He goes home and drinks. He goes and shoots heroin. Then a nun is raped and he tracks down the assailants. This isn't a bad movie, I just wonder how he can do so much drugs and alcohol and keep his car on the road. He shoots his radio because the LA Dodgers lose baseball ... Read More Rating: - You do something for me, and I'll do something for you!'Dazzlingly raw, gritty, dirty, blatantly real' are the best ways to describe this spectacular flick about a bad cop whose life is spinning out of control. Harvey Keitel gives an incredible, mind-blistering performance in the title role. This cop is losing himself in a gambling problem and a drug problem. These 2 problems are brutally and graphically shown on film as they drag this officer into the depths of depravity and degradation. He steals and abuses his power as a policeman to support his self ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
