Synopsis: Gambler. Thief. Junkie. Killer. Cop.
He has survived on the streets for twenty years. He's a gambler...a thief...a junkie...a killer and a cop. Now he's investigating the brutal rape of a nun, and as he moves closer to the truth, his self-destructive past is closing in.
Harvey Keitel gives a searing performance as an out-of-control police detective on a collision course with disaster in director Abel Ferrara's brilliant and deeply disturbing melodrama.
Review by Peter Danielsson: Many see Bad Lieutenant as just another speculation in violence and depravation in which Harvey Keitel stands naked in a church (which he doesn't, but you are led to believe so thanks to some supsicious ads). It may be that, but it's also the most daring cop movie in decades, one which raises plenty of controversial questions. Read More....

Note: There are two US versions of this movie: a censored, R-rated version, and an NC-17 version.
Zoe Lund, who played gun-toting nun Thana (well, not really a nun, it was a costume party) in Ms. 45 co-wrote the script and plays "Zoe," a junkie.
Runtime: 98 mins
