Bad Lieutenant (2009)

blHated it. Was so bored, wanted it to end. And Val Kilmer was totally underused. How did Nicolas Cage become bigger and more present than Val? And, yeah, cool, you see what he sees when he’s high, but I think the only cool part was when the soul was still dancing.

I was a little annoyed with all the stereotypical cliches of what indigenous or native peoples are like. Long braids, primitive, loin clothes. Do people who are connected to nature have to be like that? It was like he took a fusion of Native Indians and African tribes, combined them and painted them blue.

Seeing it in IMAX 3D was definitely worth it. Save up all those Scene points. And I think Sam Worthington is amazing, especially when he isn’t playing anything human.
