As miserably dark as Abel Ferrara's Harvey Keitel-starring Bad Lieutenant (1992) was, this re-vamp takes the darkness to another level with added dozes of weird and supermassive-black-hole black humour. "Re-vamp" is the key word here. Perhaps going with the BSG route and calling this re-imagining may also work, but Werner Herzog's Lieutenant shares only superficial similarities to the "original". It not only takes the character and the circumstances to whole new levels of insanity, but comes out with a completely different story altogether. I have always had a man-movie-crush on Herzog and he insists on not letting me down. Welcome to the dark side.
