RELEASE: 2009; GENERE: Action/Adventure; RUN-TIME: 2 hrs, 1 min RATED: R for drug use and language throughout, some violence and sexuality:
SYNOPSIS: Nicolas Cage plays a rogue detective who is as devoted to his job as he is at scoring drugs -- while playing fast and loose with the law. He wields his badge as often as he wields his gun in order to get his way, and some more drugs for his habit. In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina he becomes a high-functioning addict who is a deeply intuitive, fearless detective reigning over the beautiful ruins of New Orleans with authority and abandon. Complicating his tumultuous life is the prostitute he loves (played by Eva Mendes). Together they descend into their own world marked by desire, compulsion, and conscience. The result is a singular masterpiece of filmmaking: equally sad and manically humorous.
REVIEW: I don't know how we missed this at the theater. We like almost anything done b Nickelous Cage. In this boarder line insane film Cage provides us with one of his finest performances. It starts off over the top and continues from there. The film is a work of insane genius. Cage does bad so good it’s scary. As bad as the character he plays is, the movie somehow becomes fun and the ending is a joy. We both enjoyed it very much and give it [4.25-Stars].
