Spotty and uneven. Kind of a drag to watch people throwing their lives away in the pursuit of drugs and illicit financial gain. There is a great movie in here somewhere, but the execution is sloppy. Nicolas Cage is eminently unlikable here, so I guess he played the "Bad Lieutenant" role very well indeed. There are a few gripping moments, but on the whole this is grotesque, unnecessary filmmaking.
