Every so often in Nicolas Cage’s career comes a film that reminds you why he’s so prevalent these days, in crappy films like Bangkok Dangerous and Ghost Rider. A film that hearkens back to Raising Arizona, or even something silly and entertaining like Face/Off. Werner Herzog’s Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans could be that film.
This trailer displays just the right dose of good direction, interesting ideas, and over the top (good over the top) Nicolas Cage. It’s enough to get me excited for the film’s release, which is currently unscheduled.
It also gives a glimpse at performances by Val Kilmer and Xzibit. What a pair!
Keep your fingers crossed that we actually have a good Nicolas Cage performance on our hands. As much as I love to slam the guy, I’d be eager to see him prove me wrong. View the trailer below.
