Product Description

He's the kind of cop who steals drugs off a dead man's body, the kind of father who'd rather feed his drug habit than his family. His badge means nothing to him other than the right to act like the very criminals he's supposed to be chasing. The fierce anger beneath his personality is only fuelled by his addiction to heroin, crack and alcohol. But when a beautiful young nun (Frankie Thorn) is raped on the altar of a local church, the Bad Lieutenant (AcadEmy Award® Nominee, Harvey Keitel) is drawn to her case and into a final desperate attempt to find the true depths of human sin and the power of mercy.

Disc Contents - Original Director's Cut, Original Theatrical Trailer, Filmed Introduction by Director Abel Ferrara, Interview with Director Abel Ferrara, Audio Commentary by Director Abel Ferrara, Original Cast and Crew Biographies, Stills Gallery.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE DARK SIDE 10 Nov 2008
Format:DVD
Harvey keitel's performance is simply outstanding, one of the most intense uncompromising & candid you will see from an actor in any given year. It's a travesty that keitel wasn't nominated for an Oscar for best actor that year. He dominates this film to such an extent that you don't even recall anybody elses appearance. An acting masterclass.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beyond Redemption? 24 July 2008
By Mr. G. C. Stone VINE™ VOICE
Format:DVD
Sometimes your need to explore the bad. Not sugar coat it, not make it all-right-in-the-end feelgood hollywood crowd-pleasing, but take a character and a situation and follow them both through to their rightful conclusion. And make no mistake, this is totally about badness - Keitel's character is as corrupted to the core as a human being can be. And we witness it all close up. But can someone like him be ultimately redeemed? I'll leave you to find out. Be prepared to be shocked, to witness total corruption and despair, and to witness one of the best performances an actor can give. This film will take you way beyond your comfort zone - but is a tour de force of vital, raw cinema. I still shudder now when recalling it and how I felt at the ending. It doesn't come much better than this.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not a happy camper 6 Sep 2008
By Charles Vasey TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:DVD
Harvey Keitel's Bad Lieutenant is a marvellously played piece of unpleasantness. He lacks any limits to his various appetites, all of which are combining to finish him off via a series of unpleasant to shocking episodes. The rape of a young nun by two youths and his own problems with a bookie combine to expose his emptiness which, since he is (well, claims to be) Roman Catholic is undoubtedly Jesus' problem. That episode (I'll not spoil the plot) is particularly affecting. The downside with Bad Lieutenant is that it is a total downer. But Keitel is astonishing as ever.

4.0 out of 5 stars Powerful, compelling and you'll feel like you need a shower.
Bad Lieutenant was for me at the bottom of a long list of films to watch for quite sometime, i'd seen Ferrara's debut feature, The Driller Killer and was rather disappointed. Read more
