A New York police Lieutenant is brought on board to investigate one of the most disturbing cases he's ever confronted; the rape of a nun. Stepping away from his daily routine of solving homicides and indulging his vices of gambling, heavy alcohol and drug consumption, and various exploits with women, the self-destructive nature of his life is brought to the forefront, causing him to seek out redemption...but is it too little too late?

TimeOut London -
Quite possibly Ferrara's finest hour, with an almost unbearably sincere performance from Keitel.
Ian Nathan, Empire Magazine -
Abel Ferrara's uncompromising "Bad Lieutenant" is a harrowing journey with a corrupt N.Y. cop sinking into the lower depths.
