“Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans” (R, 121 minutes): There’s a deranged grandeur to Nicolas Cage’s performance as he plays a police officer who plunges into drug addiction after a heroic on-the-job accident. While Cage’s Lt. Terence McDonagh investigates a murder in post-Katrina New Orleans, cadging generous helpings of controlled substances along the way, he begins to resemble a dope-sick Richard III, his hunched shoulder as pronounced as his jones for anything he can snort or smoke. Director Werner Herzog’s New Orleans is a Wild West frontier of moral squalor, where everyone is either jacked up or numb, including Terence’s hooker girlfriend, played by the sensational Eva Mendes. Herzog has a sensualist’s eye and ear for down-and-dirty pleasures, which are to be had in abundance in this squalid, improbably affecting portrait of compulsion at its most reptilian. Contains drug use and profanity throughout, some violence and sexuality. DVD extras: Interviews with cast and crew; featurette; alternate trailer. Also: “Ally McBeal Season Two,” “The Collector,” “The Unusuals” and “The Weathered Underground.”
