L'assassino di Crescent City

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.

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.

I knew it was just a bit part for Alec Baldwin, so i wasn't expecting anything special from him. I've never really seen anything amazing from terrence Howard, but I'm a fan of Esai Morales... especially later in his career.

That said, this was truly one of the least enjoyable films I've ever seen. I've seen worse acting, worse editing, worse writing, and worse cinematography, but in those cases it was obvious going in what you were getting.

It was just mediocre all the way around, the plot was paper thin, and I didn't buy anything that was going on with Morales, Howard or the Aussie cop... absolutely no chemistry between the actors.

I really try not to give below a 5 star rating, but for some reason 2 stars felt right after watching this.

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.

By the guys that made American Sicario, comes Crescent City, a lackluster mys-tery thriller that I couldn't stand until the end. Maybe the story spins towards something amazing or at least acceptable in the end, but the fact is that the subpar acting and cinema-tography threw me off.

The buddy cops Brian and Luke lacks chemistry, and most of it comes from the plank acting both actors Terrance Howard and Esai Morales portrait. The addition of Jaclyn Waters is a common cliché in cop movies, this time with the unoriginal idea that she will join the buddy cops rather than some old-timer loner. Nicky Whelan's acting is also bellow average - for some reason, everyone except maybe Alec Baldwin was just not feeling it, a potential direction problem.

When Act 2 started and things were still dull, I quit.
