Bad Lieutenant is a 1992 American neo-noir crime drama film directed by Abel Ferrara. The film follows a corrupt and drug-addicted New York City police detective who is investigating the rape of a nun.
The lieutenant is portrayed by Harvey Keitel, who delivers a raw and intense performance as a man spiraling out of control. As he delves deeper into the case, he becomes consumed by his own demons and struggles to maintain his sanity.
Throughout the film, the lieutenant engages in a series of depraved and immoral acts, including drug use, gambling, and violence. His behavior becomes increasingly erratic as he descends further into darkness.
As the investigation unfolds, the lieutenant is forced to confront his own inner turmoil and come to terms with the consequences of his actions. The film explores themes of guilt, redemption, and the destructive nature of addiction.
Bad Lieutenant is a gritty and uncompromising portrayal of a man on the edge, and Keitel's performance is widely regarded as one of the best of his career. The film is a harrowing and unforgettable journey into the heart of darkness.
