    Failed my expectations

    I expected more and knew in the first few minutes it would be a flop. Bad acting, bad story and direction. Alec's acting was pretty much the same. Terrence Howard and Esai Moralas's acting was not good at all. I paid for this movie and tried my best to give it a chance but felt I wasted money on this flop. I think they should've passed on signing up, I guess once you become older it's hard to get those perfect scripts or phone calls from your top directors and producers. Nicky Whelan's acting was not good as well. I could expect her to be in this type of movie. Wished she didn't do the whole plastic party on her face, it truly shows and the bad acting made it worse.

    Not a B-movie, but close to it, which is a shame with such wonderfully gifted actors.

    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.

    Not as bad as it seems

    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.

    No, No, NO, NOOOOOO!

    Awful, awful movie. Direction was stiff, scrip was stupid, acting was...awful, except Terrence Howard, he managed to just be semi ok. Alex Baldwin wasn't in it enough to be awful and the other star, who is normally a good actor just chewed up scenery like he was doing impressions George C. Scott. The female lead was adequate and basically just blabbed and showed cleavage. How they got stars of that quality to be in this piece of junk is a question that needs an answer! I loved the end credits there were enough producers and executive producer to do 13 movies much less this sad excuse and waste of human endeavor. Listen to the reviews that give this a 1, they are right. I gave it a 2 only because Terrance Howard is in it and that is worth a 2 even on a bad day.

    Believe every negative review. This was one of the worst.

    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.

      By contrast with the modern furniture of his office Captain Howell keeps on his desk a vintage Bakelite pen and desk base Esterbrook from the 50's. It puts a odd touch.
    • Goofs
      About 48 mins, or so, into the movie, Baldwin's character reminds the priest that he is "under oath". Since they are not in a courtroom, only interrogation, he would not be "under oath".
