It’s a half-baked sleazy and steamy thriller that never has the guts to be particularly sleazy and is too puritanical about sex to be considered steamy.

Rated: 1.5/4

Variety

Blockbuster store shelves used to be overburdened to the point of near-collapse with unremarkable trifles such as this.

Common Sense Media

This thriller ranks a couple of notches above other B movies of its ilk, thanks to the cast putting in a little extra effort, but its pacing and plotting are nonsensical and monotonous.

Rated: 2/5

Trashy and idiotic, Crescent City is an embarrassment to crime dramas. This awful and stupid movie is filled with substandard performances in a poorly written story about police on the hunt for a serial killer. A plot twist at the end is laughably bad.

Film Legacy

Give credit to the filmmakers for being willing to go darker than necessary. The atmosphere is moody and decadent enough to satisfy noir fans, but the plot keeps veering into strange digressions.

In the time between watching this movie and reviewing it, I’d forgotten 99% of what transpired. Shockingly, this movie is not about New Orleans (“The Crescent City” being NOLA’s most recognizable nickname after “The Big Easy”). Instead, it takes place in a small town in Arkansas and was apparently shot in Arkansas, too. Characters (Terrence Howard & Nicky Whelan) just start banging out of nowhere. There’s no set-up. The scene feels like a cheesy porno. Luke (Esai Morales), Brian’s (Howard) partner, feels incredibly forced and caricaturist. The story is difficult to follow and the ending is stupid. This movie is very bad. No conceivable reason exists to watch it.

This movie starts out great but when we get to the big reveal it loses it's speed and comes up just short to the finish line. Tim Treakle

It's unfortunate that these names signed up for this film. Howard and Baldwin are caught in a police department that's rampant with deceit and murder. But, the script is just soooo bad.

Thought this had a chance when I saw Terrance Howard, Alec Baldwin and Esai Morales, but NOPE! I'm really surprised they couldn't get a better lady actor/police officer, the lady with the blow up lips is a really bad actor. This is a waste of time, I could barely watch 30 minutes. SO glad I didn't pay for this movie.
