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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
