Remake of a masterpiece of Abel Ferrara starring Harvey Keitel, this movie is performed by the ghost Werner Herzog. With Nicolas Cage in the film, it is definitely worth a visit. Just as trashy as its predecessor, the film is completely different. Herzog has completely rejected the theme of religion as the topic of this movie. Herzog could film his story in cities like New York or Chicago, but he opted for New Orleans in post-Katrina trauma. The dilapidated appearance allows the universe to move away from the first movie.
The big positive point of the film is the excellent performance by Nicolas Cage. If you are interested in it, please take a look at this movie. But I should warn you, you should not be too sensitive! Otherwise, I do not recommend it to you.
