Leave your thoughts about Bad Lieutenant.
| Slant MagazineJeremiah KippFerrara was in the right place at the right time to make Bad Lieutenant. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleIt is boldly NC-17, but unlike most exploitation cinema, Ferrara can’t seem to help himself from making the film a personal, frightened psychic diary, a pitiful shriek for help, and a powerful statement about how even the damned can achieve a moment of fleeting grace. |
| Q Network Film DeskJames KendrickWhen I think back on watching this film, two thoughts immediately cross my mind. First, it was a terribly unpleasant experience, and secondly, it was a brilliant. |
| eFilmCritic.comRob GonsalvesOne of the few truly challenging and morally complex movies about salvation. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertIt is not a "dirty movie," and in fact takes spirituality and morality more seriously than most films do. And in the bad lieutenant, Keitel has given us one of the great screen performances in recent years. |
| The ARTerySean BurnsIt's a movie of wall-to-wall depravity and profound spiritual longing, at once one of the dirtiest and most deeply religious pictures I've ever seen. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThe only truth about this film was the sleaze. |
| VarietyLawrence CohnAbel Ferrara's uncompromising Bad Lieutenant is a harrowing journey with a corrupt N.Y. cop sinking into the lower depths. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanBad Lieutenant is finally a pulp parable of sin, addiction, and redemption, a movie that, like its subversive hero, revels in the pleasure -- and danger -- of going too far. |
| ColeSmithey.comCole SmitheyAlongside "Reservoir Dogs" Able Ferrara's 1992 tour-de-force crime drama provides the epic showcase for Harvey Keitel's impressive acting abilities. |
