A horrible experience
I saw this movie about 12 years ago in a double bill showing with Henry: Portrait of a serial killer - Hows that for 'enjoyable' entertainment? Anyway, Bad lieutenant was just too over the mark in depression for me, from the rape of the Nun to Keitel roaring with despair at an imaginery Jesus, the film seemed to go knowhere. Then i cringed when he jerked off to those two teenage girls he pulled over...Way over the score. But i think that was the whole point and Keitel was perfect in portraying a man slowly going down the toilet.
But don't watch this film if your feeling low on a Sunday raining afternoon.
