The Bad Lieutenant
Harvey Keitel is great, but on the whole, the forgiveness/redemption thread was too Catholic for me.
How much does the message of Christ resonate in the mind of a sex addicted, crackhead junkie with a gambling problem? (Or for that matter, sociopathic killers like the Corleones or the Sopranos). The conflict between conventional morality and life of everyman seems to be more of an issue for people like Chase, Scorsese or Coppola than it is for their criminal characters — and for this little bit of the audience.
