Movie Reviews of The Big Easy
Movie Review: Glad I finally watched it.
Summary: 5 Stars
A friend of mine has chased me around with this DVD for weeks, telling me it is a must see. She was right! The only problem is, it's her copy and now I'm going to HAVE to buy my own. I live about an hour away from New Orleans and let me tell you, they have the Cajun flavor down pat. I just wish Dennis Quaid were there all the time. This movie is sexy, steamy and very entertaining. It's amazing that it is from 1987 and yet is not outdated at all. If you haven't seen it yet, then buy it now!Movie Review: Glad Big Easy has come to DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
The Big Easy is one of my favorite movies. It has a rich mix of savvy, original characters, including New Orleans itself. This is Ellen Barkin's best performance as the inhibited DA Anne Osborn being drawn out by the mildly corrupt detective played by Dennis Quaid. Chemistry, snappy dialog, good tunes, whimsical romancing: who could ask for more?The DVD is not technically exceptional or even particularly good, which is a shame but not crippling in a character driven story.
Movie Review: New Orleans noir, circa 1987
Summary: 5 Stars
Oh boy, what a pairing: Dennis Quaid and Ellen Barkin, a sexy pair if ever there was one, and they find themselves adversaries, on opposite sides of a scandal within the police department. Quaid's lopsided, charming grin wobbles a little as Barkin closes in on her investigation of cops on the take - including our illustrious hero.Put New Orleans in the background, add a little of the voodoo myth, sprinkle wisely with Cajun music - who could ask for more?
Movie Review: Excellent entertainment
Summary: 5 Stars
Right from the start you know you're in New Orleans, with the lively music, the humor, the partying and the sweet smell of corruption and death. The movie's love theme is cleverly handled (a bit like Ellen Barkin handles the cop's younger brother), and I would place a small bet that this was the first movie ever to poke fun at women joggers. Top-rate.Movie Review: angelplustwo
Summary: 5 Stars
It's a great movie. Owned it for years on VHS until someone borrowed and didn't return. Dennis Quaid is young and looks good. It's a nice romance with a pretty good police mystery. One of my favorites and hasn't gotten too dated as of yet.
