Driven by a career best performance by the legendary Harvey Keitel as the titular Lieutenant, Abel Ferrara's unfiltered tale of self-destruction, guilt, forgiveness and redemption shocked audiences and critics alike with its uncompromising depiction of crime in New York's seedy underbelly. In a career full of provocative filmmaking, the notorious Bad Lieutenant stands alone as Ferrara's most incendiary and certainly his finest piece of work. For twenty years, he has ruled the streets - gambling, stealing, using, killing. A corrupt, drug-addicted New York City cop spirals deeper into vice while investigating the brutal assault of a young nun. As the case forces him to confront his own sins, he walks the line of self-destruction and the elusive promise of redemption.

He has survived on the streets for twenty years. He's a gambler.. a thief... a junkie... a killer and a cop. Now he's investigating the most shocking case of his life, and as he moves closer to the thruth his self-destuctive past is closing in.

Harvey Keitel gives a searing performance as an out-of-control police detective on a collision course with disaster in director Abel Ferrara's brilliant and deeply disturbing melodrama

    für dumpfbacken welche einen film nur gut finden wenns vom anfang bis zum ende päng päng und hau hau macht ist dieser film nicht das richtige und wer die schauspielerische meisterleistung von harvey keitel nicht erkennt ist eh entschuldigt und braucht nicht weiter kommentiert zu werden.
    dieses geniale psychodrama ist kompromisslos und verstörend.......aber man muss es verstehen.

    Ein Cop am Rande der Existenz und völliger Hoffnungslosigkeit. Man kann nicht sagen, dass dieser Film einen Sympathieträger als Hauptfigur hätte, man fängt ihn eher an zu hassen. Für die dies ertragen absolut zu Empfehlen...
