REVIEWS
“Both director and actor risk making asses of themselves. But, in a world that is already full of conventional, straitlaced cop movies, a film as preposterous as this arrives as a tonic: an object lesson in how to take a routine assignment and subvert it.” Geoffrey Macnab, The Independent
“Werner Herzog’s loopy and improbably entertaining remake of the 1992 Abel Ferrara dark-side-of-everything cult classic… doesn’t go where you expect, but it has a stubborn, trippy logic.” Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
