1.5/4
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. Go to Full Review
Joe Leydon Variety 08/16/2024
Blockbuster store shelves used to be overburdened to the point of near-collapse with unremarkable trifles such as this. Go to Full Review

The disjointed film left me not caring about who is the killer. Go to Full Review

2/5
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. Go to Full Review
Carla Hay Culture Mix 08/24/2024
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. Go to Full Review
Daniel Eagan Film Legacy 08/20/2024
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. Go to Full Review

Chris T Nov 22 Got some 'named' actors in it but the acting is dreadful. Wooden doesn't begin to explain it. Gave up after 15 minutes! See more Darlene N Nov 6 Cringe-worthy bad. Turned it off early on when something too predictable happened which turned me right off See more Philip M May 15 I really can’t recommend this movie, I watched, should I say wasted my time until the very end. Was pretty easy to work out who did what etc, and it’s a NO from me. See more Ben D Feb 27 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. See more Feb 2 It doesn’t look like a decent crime/thriller movie See more Horror fan 4 Jan 17 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.
