Crescent City

I started watching this for the presence of the ever great actor Terrence Howard and Alec Baldwin. Terrence Howard still oozes cool, but Alec Baldwin is phoning his performance in.

This is not a B-movie, but it is cop movie without cojones, without soul. It's just going through the motions of a below average predictable, boring cop story we have already seen a kazillion times before.

NOT thrilling. NOT suspenseful. NOT original. It's a total nothing burger, that is incredibly tedious to watch.

These actors deserve a better script and a much better direction and production. Definitely to be avoided.

It's not an Oscar movie but it has an interesting intriguing side. I like movies that make us think without ever knowing who the killer is. The casting is interesting. Terrence Howard is excellent and I like Esai Morales, we never know if he's the good guy or the bad guy.

The direction is adequate.

On the other hand, the story is a little predictable even if the movie always makes us think to find out who the culprit is. The religious context is original. I don't understand why some people rate it so badly. There are much worse movies than this one. Maybe the expectation is too great.

And stop blaming Balwin because of the tragic incident in his last movie, it could happen to anyone. This movie passes the time on a boring and rainy day.

This is a horribly written film that is not even campy worth watching and wastes a mostly decent cast. The plot, if we can call it that, is better understood as a drunken improve of frat brothers who think they are improving Silence of the Lambs.

Rather than actually develop a story line, the movie meanders from one pathetically obvious misdirection to the next, until the musical chairs of potential suspects haphazardly lands on one character. They film the pathetically tries to backfill the character's story to cobble together an underwhelming explanation of the why the killer would engage in series of crimes.

The best part of the film is that it ended and that I didn't buy it.

Shame on everyone involved.

Alec Baldwin, Terrance Howard and Esai Morales all in top notch films, should all be ashamed of themselves taking roles in this mindless dribble of a film..omg! The story was very poorly delivered, the acting atrocious, no one is likeable or believable and Terrance Howard's character had to be depicted as the black married man (of course) being unfaithful to his wife but even outside of the that, he just came off super lame and weak on screen. I really try giving films with good actors the benefit of the doubt but of a surety, there are no benefits with Crescent City only doubtful anyone will enjoy this crap. Believe every negative review. This was one of the worst, I've ever seen. It was just plain awful.

There were six people in the theater on a holiday weekend. That should have told me beware.

The acting from a Baldwin was the worst ever.

The story/editing was hard to follow.

Please wait for it to be on TV for free, do not waist your money.

One good thing I can say is it was nice seeing people smoking and drinking.

As mystery the movie pointed to everyone making still harder to follow.

Terrence Howard was great and maybe the only reason to see this movie.

The other actors should not have been a part of this waist of film A C-movie at best better for a Saturday afternoon double feature than a main event.
