Bad Lieutenant, directed by the infamous and often reviled genius Abel Ferrara (King of New York, The Driller Killer), focuses on Harvey Keitel's police officer on a case to solve the sexual assault of a nun. In a similarly tour de force performance, we watch as Keitel's character gambles what he doesn't have on baseball games and smokes crack in a...
Citing the most obvious comparison, they're both "New York Films." Going one further, these movies aren't merely New York-set, but take place in Manhattan in particular. Creating on home turf, Ferrara and the Safdie brothers are all NYC locals with the former being spoken of in the same breath as fellow New Yorkers Woody Allen or Martin Scorsese fo...
Formerly Catholic (now Buddhist), Abel Ferrara puts a heavy emphasis on religious themes and Catholicism throughout his film, and the Lieutenant's case focuses on the rape of a nun no less.

Setting up what is to come, this is a losing battle from the very first second. At the following crime scene, betting is talked about for tomorrow's gam...

Knowing the character directly makes Howard's betting feel like more of a shoo-in for success. Incredibly, the basketball performances shown on screen in the f...
In a strange take on Robin Hood, both characters give away their winnings to others. Howard gives his final winnings to Julia (Julia Fox) as a means of making more cash down the road, and the Lieutenant gives his $30 grand to the criminals as an admission of his own guilt and remorse at his life - and as a makeweight, so they never return to the ci...
In a strange sort of cathartic release for the audience (finally, after endless tension), we know that these guys can't continue on the route they're going. The Lieutenant is shot in a drive-by for all the money he owes in a bleak ending that befits the lead up to it, and Uncut Gems pulls the rug from you at the very last. Having finally won big, H...
