In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, he becomes a high-functioning addict who is a deeply intuitive, fearless detective reigning over the beautiful ruins of New Orleans with authority and abandon. Complicating his tumultuous life is the prostitute he loves and together they descend into their own world marked by desire, compulsion, and conscience.
The result is a singular masterpiece of filmmaking: equally sad and manically humorous.

I used to be a fan of Nicholas Cage - but he seems to pick nothing but turkeys lately; I did not actually finish the film as it had absolutley no characters you could sympathise with and I ended up hoping that they would all get their comeuppance. I have given it 0 stars as it had absolutey nothing going for it. Do NOT recommend ! The machine has insisted I tick at least 1 star - but under protest !
