I really didn't get this one. Maybe it was because I rewatched the "original" first and my expectations were way off, but I didn't get the satire at all, it just felt tame. Apparently Herzog hasn't even seen the original and it was the producers who wanted it to be named Bad Lieutenant though the similarities are abundant. It would have been much better off without the connection so you would see it for the comedy it is.
Probably Nicolas Cage has a big part in this, I just can't stand him anymore. Every film he's done after Leaving Las Vegas is just a fucking crapfest and stands for everything I hate about movies.
