The Big Easy
After watching this sizzling crime thriller, you will be at a loss to explain why director Jim McBride and stars Dennis Quaid and Ellen Barkin failed to go on and take Hollywood by storm. Rather than the start of something big, this was the career peak of all three, but what heights they attained. Sparks fly from the moment cop Quaid and assistant district attorney Barkin come together to investigate a New Orleans Mob killing, but their conflicting moral codes threaten to take the heat out of their steamy affair. Ned Beatty and John Goodman provide gritty support, while McBride brings the unique quality of the city to throbbing life.
