Crescent City

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
