	'Bad Lieutenant'
		When The Lieutenant pulls over a pair of young teenage girls who've taken out Daddy's car without permission and negotiates a sleazy exchange of sexual favors for his silence, we may want to dismiss the picture entirely as a disgusting exercise in sewer diving.
		This religious dimension is introduced when The Lieutenant begins an investigation into the rape of a nun in a Spanish Harlem church by two crackheads who, after brutalizing the woman, desecrate her church.
		The Lieutenant, who calls himself a Catholic and then, several scenes later, snorts coke off a picture of his child at communion, is raging against God and, at the same time, administering to himself a cruel punishment for his own transgressions.

	Bad Lieutenant Movie: Bad Lieutenant DVD is available from Bestprices.com
		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.
		The film is based on a song written by director Abel Ferrara called "The Bad Lieutenant" that, in turn, is based on an incident in which a nun was raped in Spanish Harlem in 1982.
		Abel Ferrara's BAD LIEUTENANT is a bleak character study of a corrupt New York City detective who investigates the rape and torture of a nun even as his own life crumbles around him.

	The Tech - Volume 113, Issue 8
		The Lieutenant is too complex to dismiss as a purely deviant monster; his suffering transcends the personal, addressing every lost soul adrift in a casually cruel and brutally indifferent world.
		Bad Lieutenant is a fiercely contemporary moral tale examining the issues of faith, morality, responsibility, and culpability in today's world where cynicism is the norm and everything has its price.
		The Lieutenant is the scum of the earth, but it is impossible to avert our eyes as his acts of desperation become increasingly heinous; at no point can we sympathize with the Lieutenant's plight, but on some level we can all identify with his pain and desperation.

	Bad Lieutenant
		The Lieutenant is not a party guy: He gets no pleasure from his transgressions but seems driven by demons to abase himself as much as is humanly possible.
		Bad Lieutenant ventures so deeply into its protagonist's head that we actually begin to understand the Lieutenant's desperate, convoluted spiritual logic as he assumes the lead role in his own hellish Passion Play.
		Bad Lieutenant is one of the best movies of the year, but it isn't easy.

		"Bad Lieutenant" tells the story of a man who is not comfortable inside his body or soul.
		He is bad and knows he is bad, and he abuses the power of his position in every way he can.
		The movie does not give the lieutenant a name, because the human aspects of individual personality no longer matter at this stage; he is a bad cop, and those two words, expressing his moral state and his leverage in society, say everything that is still important about him.

	FILMDECULTE : Bad Lieutenant, de Abel Ferrara
		Bad Lieutenant est un film rare qui trouve sa force autant dans l’implication extraordinaire des principaux acteurs (au sens large) du film que grâce à un scénario mystique et funèbre.
		Comme le lieutenant, Ferra n’est pas un personnage lisse mais, au contraire, un être torturé qui a goûté à tous les excès de la vie et dans lequel le personnage du mauvais flic se reflète étrangement.
		Aussi lorsque l’on voit évoluer le lieutenant dans les rues de New York, on a l’impression que cette silhouette étrange et torturée est la synthèse parfaite de l’auteur et l’interprète.

	deseretnews.com - Movie review: Bad Lieutenant \| Deseret Morning News Web edition
		But Ferrara seems satisfied with concentrating on the lieutenant's self-destructive acts rather than trying to understand the character, explain how he got to this point or show us why he continues to punish himself.
		"Bad Lieutenant" is surface stuff all the way, with Kietel's no-holds-barred performance being the only element of worth.
		"Bad Lieutenant" is rated NC-17 for a steady stream of violence, sex, nudity, profanity, vulgarity and drug abuse.

		Bad Lieutenant is like a diseased Nineties version of Mean Streets: same lead (Harvey Keitel), same city in turmoil (New York), same striking visual energy, same Catholic guilt.
		The "bad" lieutenant is so lost in excess of every kind that he has become basically an anti-human.
		Bad Lieutenant is a amazing film Harvey Keitel performance is simply amazing and director Abel Ferrara direction is unique and powerful.

		Keitel is getting further out-of-control and going from bad to worse because of his drug and gambling problems.

	Bad Lieutenant Review (1992)
		The lead character of Abel Ferrara’s notorious 1992 film is a ‘bad’ policeman in the sense that Ed Wood was a ‘bad’ director or Liz Hurley is a ‘bad’ actress — he’s an absolute disgrace to his profession.
		Bad Lieutenant is both one of Abel Ferrara’s best films and his most typical, in that it defines all the elements that can be found elsewhere in his work.
		While not as light on plot as, say, The Blackout or New Rose Hotel, Bad Lieutenant is nevertheless another film in which Ferrara puts seamy atmosphere ahead of story, but it remains an admirably uncompromisingly work.

	Bad Lieutenant with Harvey Kietel directed by Abel Ferrara(1992)
		BAD LIEUTENANT is an unforgettable film, fresh from the sewer-drenched mind of director/writer Ferrara — who brought us the classics MS.
		The token mystery of the story involves the rape of a virginal young nun (imagine Bridget Fonda with a better set)...the Lieutenant, in deep to a bookie and in deeper to the drugs that he's selling and pushing into his body, wants to bring the punks responsible for the brutal crime to justice.
		Like Kyle MacLachlan's descent into darkness in that vile and violent classic, BAD LIEUTENANT is really about Keitel's attempt to reverse his plummet before he bottoms out completely.

	BAD LIEUTENANT. A Hollywood Jesus Movie Review
		The film is based on a song written by director Abel Ferrara called "The Bad Lieutenant" that, in turn, is based on an incident in which a nun was raped in Spanish Harlem in 1982.
		Harvey Keitel's character in The Bad Lieutenant may be one of the most grotesque characters ever seen on screen-he's a compulsive gambler, drug addict, absent father and husband, and he's a dirty cop too.
		Left on his own in the church, the Lieutenant realizes that if the nun can forgive the young men who ravaged her, then God must be able to forgive him too.

		A police Lieutenant goes about his daily tasks of investigating homicides, but is more interested in pursuing his vices.
		A nun is raped and the Lieutenant goes to the hospital.
		He just wants to start over, he knows he's bad and knows far too well how horrible a person he really is. The movie is powerful to say the least, but not for the squeamish as Ferrera's movies rarely are.

		Crew or equipment visible: Towards the end of the scene where LT is shooting heroin with the redhead, you can see the shadow of a crew member slip into the shot in the lower-right part of the screen.
		While this heinous crime only serves to strengthen the Lt's belief in the general depravity of the world around him, the nun herself has found solace in her refusal to condemn those who wronged her, viewing them instead as victims as their own confusion and despair.
		In the end, it's the surprising amount of depth and emotional muscle that it carries, and not the notorious reputation that it garnered, that 'Bad Lieutenant' really deserves to be remembered for - and remembered I hope it always will be.

	Bad Lieutenant (1992): Reviews
		The film follows the lieutenant as he makes his way to various crime scenes, concerned only with taking bets from his fellow cops on the outcome of the ongoing National League playoffs.
		Abel Ferrara's uncompromising Bad Lieutenant is a harrowing journey observing a corrupt NY cop sink into the depths, with an extraordinary and uninhibited performance by Harvey Keitel in the title role.
		It's a film enthralled by its own lower depths… Although Bad Lieutenant is structured as a redemptive thriller, it functions primarily as a freak show with religioso overtones.

		Bad Lieutenant stars Harvey Keital in the title role, a cop who continually bends the rules and abuses his authority to satisfy his own urges.
		The bad guys want their money and they will gladly kill those who do not pay back.
		Harvey Keitel is an excellent actor and he does portray the lieutenant well in this film, but with such a dire plot to work with full of pointless religious symbolism, characters that the viewer cannot identify with and such extreme drug taking, it is no wonder Harvey Keitel cries so much in the film.

	Bad Lieutenant - The CHUD.COM Message Boards
		If I was producer I'd rename the movie "Badass Lieutenant" and have the protagonist hunt down those nun-raping scumbags one by one, to dish out some straight-to-video justice.
		It was the ultimate selfless act for someone like the Lieutenant to let the rapists go, I think.
		Not a happy ending by any means, except for the Lieutenant, who ultimately gets his peace (depending on your views on what "peace" is, I guess).

	Bad Lieutenant
		He simply can't grasp that a nun, raped violently on the church altar, won't identify her assailants, although she definitely knows them.
		The Lieutenant doesn't stay in character when he's dealing with the nun.
		If I were a cop who cuts corners, I would have found a way to make the friggin' nun understand that the fact of her having forgiven the rapists is not relevant to whether she should turn them in.

		And in the middle of all of it, there is Bad Lieutenant, which to date stands alone as Ferrara's magnum opus, an incredibly powerful piece of work
		The unnamed lieutenant (called "LT" in the credits and played to the hilt by Harvey Keitel) starts off the movie looking like any other guy, but it only takes a few minutes of us looking in on his day to realize this isn't your ordinary cop.
		At first, he tries to treat it like every other case, but as his life begins to spiral out of control, he becomes more and more obsessed with the deeper symbolism of the case itself, how justice and forgiveness are two sides of the same coin.

		After much thought I have to say that "Bad Lieutenant" really is a monstrous train-wreck of a movie, but what keeps you watching, utterly mesmerized, unable to look away for an instant, is Keitel's performance as the titular character.
		Bad Lieutenant (he is never given a name) is a truly bad person who no matter how hard they try can not change due to weakness and he pays the price for his weakness.

		As with Driller Killer, Bad Lieutenant is not a film for casual viewers in search of a few cheap thrills.
		The Bad Lieutenant (we never know his real name) is a New York cop swimming around in a cesspool of his own making (to quote a former British chief constable).
		On top of that, he's a drug user (and indeed dealer), he takes bribes, he steals, he hides evidence, and owes tens of thousands of dollars to vicious loansharks as a result of an increasingly desperate gambling habit.

		Drawing upon their profiecency with varied musical instruments, such as guitar, bass, percussion, drums, and keyboards to emulate electronically-based music, the EP is a representation of their signature style of sequenced and live production.
		To achieve this symbiosis of live and sequenced music in a performance setting, Beet and Bad Lieutenant have been backed by members of their Replicant Ensemble since 1998.
