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.

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.

This film had its trouble when released and it is understandable, BAD LIEUTENANT is hard to watch at times but that's what makes it genius: its honest, realistic and touching, it doesn't dwell on SFX, blood, guts and gore, there are no explosions. It's great acting and great directing, psychological depth and a catching story that make this cop drama so great.
Alternatives:
Ms .45 ( Angel of Vengeance ) ( Rape Squad ) Abel Ferrara's best film also has psychological depth like BAD LIEUTENANT
I Stand Alone [1999] (REGION 1) (NTSC) One of the best films dealing with a broken psyche. French with English subtitles.
Henry - Portrait Of A Serial Killer [Uncut] [1986] Not really a horror film, but a great pseudo-documentary of sick minds.

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

Explicit, grim portrayal of human disintegration...
Keitel turns in what might be his best-ever performance in this monstrously ugly tale of moral corruption. There's no easy moment in the 90 minutes of this film. Read more

Not a happy camper
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... Read more
