Eva Mendes plays a hooker with a heart of gold in Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans, a fascinatingly wacko Werner Herzog drama starring Nicolas Cage as an unhinged, crack-smoking post-Katrina cop. The film opens in Houston on Friday. She’s his girlfriend, a fellow addict. And she is, in some ways, one of the most level-headed characters in the movie.
“I just saw her as a flawed person. I didn’t really see her as anything else when I first signed on. I was planning on going for it: a prostitute who’s addicted to drugs and codependent on some guy who’s addicted to drugs — and a rogue cop! It was amazing to me,” says Mendes, on the phone from Los Angeles during a recent press event.
