Seventy times best-of-seven

Bad Lieutenant

(1992)
Seriously, this is a bad lieutenant, a very, very, very, very bad lieutenant. He does way too much of way too many things that nobody should do, to say nothing about a law-enforcement officer. This is one bad lieutenant. OK, you want specifics? Dig this: he bets against the Mets. Repeatedly. He is a bad lieutenant.

Harvey Keitel exhibits the same keening as in the same year's Reservoir Dogs and the same penis as in the next year's The Piano, but I'm not sure what else this accomplishes. Except to show a really, really, really bad lieutenant. Which he is. Really.
