So nobody, particularly Abel Ferrara, really wanted to see Werner Herzog remake Bad Lieutenant, Ferrara's 1991 movie featuring Harvey Keitel as an officer of the law who's exactly what he sounds like. But after taking a gander at a trailer for the movie that has hit the internet in what seems to be a very unofficial way, I might have to change my mind. This shit looks kinda awesome. At the very least, it might be a shot for Nicolas Cage to redeem himself after such a long string of flops, and for Eva Mendes to seduce him in movie that isn't Ghost Rider. I have no idea how official this trailer is or how long it will be online, so check it out below while you still can. It's like House on heavier drugs and with guns. It might be the best thing you see all day.
