Product Description

Harvey Keitel is a nameless New York cop, hopelessly addicted to drugs, gambling, and sex. As he makes his way to various crime scenes, he is concerned only with taking bets from his fellow cops on the outcome of the ongoing National League playoffs. As his bad decisions drive him deeper into debt, his life becomes a surreal hell, with a constant intake of crack, coke, heroin and booze eroding what remains of his sanity. An investigation into the rape of a nun leads to his spiritual breakdown at the church crime scene, where he sees Jesus and the road to his salvation. This gutsy, highly original tale is one of Ferrara’s most perfectly realized films and a pinnacle in the career of Keitel, whose performance transcends the screen in its sheer bravery.

    Firstly I want to say, this film isn't for everyone.
    its dirty,gritty,violent but if you want to see actors at the top of their game, this is the movie for you. Arguably Keitels greatest performance. He poured his soul into the nameless Lieutenant, which I thought was brilliant.

    Abel Ferrera the director did an amazing job with this film. All film students should watch and study this film. It's story, it's gonzo way of filmmaking, Keitels acting, the script. This movie is chockful of greatness. The great thing about it in my opinion is it never gives you a break, it keeps gut punching you until even after the credits. Purchase this film if you're a film student, or love avant garde,gritty crime, amazing acting. You will regret this purchase.

    NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH THE REMAKE STARRING NICHOLAS CAGE !!!
    I first watched this movie around the time it came out and LOVED IT!!!
    It's a cop-movie no doubt, but it's not your typical conservative, 'murican hero-cop we get in Harvey Keitel's character.
    He does everything opposite of the book, he drinks on the job, smokes crack, heroin, weed and is a compulsive degenerate gambler who's world is getting smaller and smaller due to a debt.
    Bad Lieutenant has some scenes that are sexual in nature and very hard to watch, which adds to realism.
    Highly recommended for fans of sleaze, grindhouse and Tarantino-like movies(yes Tarantino is a big fan of this movie)
    Thank you Kino Lorber for giving us a 4k-release of this sleazy 90's gem<3
    Like i stated earlier, this movie is completely unrelated to the remake/sequel/whatever-version with Nic Cage from 2009.

    First, this movie is rated NC-17, a higher rating the R. If you don't like R-rated movies for whatever reason, don't watch this one. The movie deals with the depraved life of a corrupt cop, the lieutenant, played by Harvey Keitel. It's not glamorous. He goes from one scene to the next abusing his power as a cop, abusing drugs and alcohol, and now he's probably loosing his mind. I didn't like the directing, but it works and you accept it because the movie is controversial and deals with the sordid, corrupt part of the city. I think Harvey Keitel gives an outstanding performance, though, playing a character you don't like and wonder when he will die.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great Dark Movie
    Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2024

    Excellent movie about faith and understanding of one's decisions to go with God or go the way of darkness. It is a hard movie to watch, and the director does not protect your eyes and ears from the gruesomeness of the film. Harvey Keitel's performance and vulnerability really makes him one of the best actors to ever be on the screen. For those who wonder, this is the unrated version that has over 5 minutes added to the graphic scenes in the film. The longer scenes are essential to help tell the story. Be warned before renting or buying this movie. Excellent 4K picture and sound for this release. However, the song Signifying Rapper by Schoolly D. is not in this release nor will probably be in any future releases. I guess Jimmy Page is still upset that he was not asked for permission to use a sample of Kashmir in the song.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The Thorny Business of Finding Forgiveness
    Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2015
    Verified Purchase
    Finally watched this film after dozens of friends recommended it over the years. As a practicing Catholic, I knew it would be very difficult to watch. Final analysis? Superb film. In the interest of full disclosure, I did have to stop the movie twice during the rape scene. But even more devastating to my mind was the hospital scene -- which explained the nature of the crime in fuller detail. The psychological and metaphysical implications of Ferrara's film are limitless. Other reviewers, far more gifted than myself, have already smartly dissected this piece; so I write only to weigh in on the themes of Forgiveness and Redemption.

    Keitel oozes pure pathos as the Bad Lieutenant. In Ferrara's case, you can take the boy out of the Faith, but you can't take the Faith out of the boy. The fact that The Lieutenant comes across as morally lower than the dregs he is supposed to protect society from is obviously no mistake. He hasn't fallen on hard times, the man is simply detestable scum. This particular fallen man, presumably redeemed by his faith, has become so abhorrent that he is the cause of his own destruction via drug and gambling addiction. This is unadulterated Shakespearean Tragedy. The fact that Ferrara chose to make the main character a Lieutenant, instead of just another "bad cop" is delightfully ironic, given that a lieutenant is often "second in command" -- and Keitel's character is absolutely NOT in command but rather completely controlled by his own vices.

    Frankie Thorn gives an admirable performance as the Nun. Even with very little dialogue, she conveys the Nun's devoutness with her masterful facial expressions, which are almost eerily compassionate and clement. Her ability to forgive her attackers is so incongruous with the Lieutenant's natural response of indignation, that he not only finds her act of charity unfathomable but also, amazingly, repugnant. However, whatever good character that survives in the Lieutenant is able to respond to her declaration of forgiveness with true contrition, begging Christ for mercy. It is this deep contrition that propels the Lieutenant to perform his own unfathomable act of charity.

    I sympathize with, but respectfully disagree with, those who find the Lieutenant's act towards the rapists as heinous. Like St. Dismas, the Lieutenant is justly punished for his crimes in the final scene, but only after he is redeemed by his own work of charity and act of faith (keep in mind he does as the Nun would have him do). As to the eventual and final fates of the rapists, Ferrara is acutely silent.

    It’s been a while since I’ve order a blu ray from Amazon because of the crappy packaging when shipping out steelbooks in the past. I was actually surprised to see my movie when it arrived in my mailbox inside of a cardboard box. Hopefully this will be standard practice from now on and not just a one time situation.

    The actual movie itself, I really enjoyed it and had no regrets on this blind purchase.

    This is a very gritty story about a drug addicted police officer. Harvey Keitel's performance is amazing. My biggest problem with this film was that I kept asking myself "Where are his bosses?" I will warn you that some scenes are VERY graphic.

    Der relativ unbekannte Film „Bad Lieutnant“ von Abel Ferrara („Body Snatchers“) aus dem Jahre 1992 ist ein wahres Filmjuwel, welches in meinen Augen deutlich mehr Aufmerksamkeit vertragen könnte. Gedreht in 20 Tagen mit einem unvorstellbar guten Hauptdarsteller, viel Improvisation und noch dazu ein visuell interessantes Werk, das und noch viel mehr bietet „Bad Lieutnant“.

    Der „Bad Lieutnant“ handelt im Namen des Gesetzes, doch sein Lebensinhalt sind Drogen, Prostituierte und vor allem Spielwetten. Wir erleben den langsamen Zusammenbruch dieses Mannes, der zwischen Gut und Böse wandelt und langsam von der Realität abweicht…

    „Bad Lieutnant“ ist ein wirklich beeindruckender Film: Dreckig, böse und ohne viel Hoffnung. Selbst der Hauptdarsteller ist eher der Antagonist, der aber so faszinierend zu beobachten ist, dass man sich selbst langsam in der düsteren Welt dieses Mannes verliert. Das Spannende an dem Film sind besonders die vielen Improvisationen (ich empfehle hierzu die „Behind the Scenes“-Dokumentationen auf der Special Edition!), die vor allem von Keitel ausgingen. Dieser machte aus Szenen, die im Drehbuch mit nur zwei Sätzen manchmal beschrieben wurden, pure Schauspielkunst! Und das ist einer der Hauptgründe, warum dieser Film so spektakulär und beeindruckend geworden ist.

    Weiterhin gibt es recht wenig Dialoge, manchmal fühlt sich Ferrara's Film wie ein Stummfilm an. Auch die Musik ist recht spärlich eingesetzt, viele Szenen bestehen nur aus Hintergrundgeräuschen. Die Kameraarbeit ist beeindruckend, wenn auch manchmal etwas sehr verwackelt (was man aber leicht verzeihen kann, besonders wenn man weiß, unter welchen Bedingungen der Film gedreht wurde). Doch das alles ergibt am Ende eine unheimliche, faszinierende und abtrünnige Filmerfahrung, wie ich sie selten erlebt habe.

    Der Star des Films ist jedoch Harvey Keitel, der hier seine sicherlich beste Leistung überhaupt zeigt. Ich wusste, dass Keitel ein guter Schauspieler ist, allein in „Reservoir Dogs“ oder „Pulp Fiction“ hat er mich überzeugt. Doch hier beweist er, was für ein brillanter Charakterdarsteller ist. Jede Szene mit ihm wirkt so beängstigend real und echt, dass man nicht wegschauen möchte, egal, wie widerwärtig oder pervers einige Szenen daher kommen.

    Fazit: Je weniger man über den Film weiß, desto besser. Einfach gucken und genießen. „Bad Lieutnant“ ist ein kleines Filmmeisterwerk über einen namenslosen Mann am Abgrund. Großartiger Hauptdarsteller, tolle Kamera, eine intensive und realistische Atmosphäre und noch dazu eine Portion Wahnsinn. Genial!

    Ach und bitte nicht mit dem Nicolas Cage-Film verwechseln, der zwar den gleichen Namen hat, aber nichts mit dem Original zu tun hat.

    I must inform fans of this movie that this American blu ray is region free and will play even on your PS3, which is how I viewed it. Recently I read a less than favourable review regarding the picture quality of this disc, but that was from someone unable to appreciate this urban classic so make of that what you will. As for my viewing pleasure it was not diminished by this presentation to the point that I could not discern the criticisms he was making, but then he really was scathing about this film
    For my taste Harvey Keitel delivers one of the great tortured urban male character studies of modern cinema and I rate his acting here alongside Christopher Walken in The Deer Hunter and Robert De Niro in Taxi Driver. Bad Lieutenant remains an undeniable influence on today's new talent such as Antoine Fuqua

    Keitel is so raw so intense and utterly convincing in his portrait of a man spiralling out of control towards utter oblivion that as a viewer I find myself almost having to pinch my own skin to remember that I am indeed watching an actor performing in front of a camera. This is a morality piece set in a religious frame-work, but as a viewer without any religious conviction I can say without doubt that none is required to fully appreciate the gravity of the unfolding events and their religious symbolism, above all this is a human story and one that will reach out and touch your humanity.

    Bad Lieutenant is a character study and the character study of the 1990's and Mr Keitel should have won an Oscar for his incredible effort here. Sadly independent cinema has been in decline since the mid-1980's and the funding for such a film as this was incredibly hard to secure. Some of you accustomed to slick visual perfection will find much to criticise in terms of camera work and lighting, but remember this is guerrilla film-making with whole sections of this picture stolen right there on the streets and as such completely vital and engaging than your typical stylised cop picture.

    The story here is original, taken in-part from a real life case history which you will learn, with some initial incredulity, from the wonderfully insightful three layered features which explore all aspects of this film. I highly recommend you watch. In addition you get an always entertaining commentary track with director Abel and on this release his long time cameraman Ken Kelsch.

    I desperately miss new films from Abel Ferrara, but rejoice fellow fans, sit back and appreciate one of his masterpieces here finally in hi-def. Now if only we could have The Addiction, Angel Of Vengeance and a U.K friendly blu ray release of King Of New York.
