We've all heard quite a bit about Nicolas Cage and Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans, and now First Look has given us our very own first look at the film with the first official trailer.
Bad Lieutenant Trailer
In Werner Herzog's new film Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans, Nicolas Cage plays a rogue detective who is as devoted to his job as he is at scoring drugs -- while playing fast and loose with the law. He wields his badge as often as he wields his gun in order to get his way. In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina he becomes a high-functioning addict who is a deeply intuitive, fearless detective reigning over the beautiful ruins of New Orleans with authority and abandon. Complicating his tumultuous life is the prostitute he loves (Eva Mendes). Together they descend into their own world marked by desire, compulsion, and conscience. The result is a singular masterpiece of filmmaking: equally sad and manically humorous.
The film's riding on lots of buzz, some of which some is repeated in the preview, so check out the trailer for Bad Lieutenant in Quicktime at Yahoo Movies or below (via TrailerAddict).
