You won't be disappointed!

Absolutely the worst movie.

Absolutely Fantastic

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Remy McSwain (Dennis Quaid) is a New Orleans police lieutenant investigating the murder of a mob wise guy as one of his new cases. He is brash, street-wise and from a family of cops. He's forced to partner with A.D.A. Ann Osborne (Ellen Barkin) who is on a task force against police corruption. She's not as experienced on the streets. Soon they're in bed together. His loose ethics gets him in trouble and her in conflict of interest.This movie is trying very hard to get the New Orleans flavor. Dennis Quaid is pushing the accent hard. The movie pulls out the music and food in the first 10 minutes. The case almost doesn't matter. This is a movie about Barkin getting her sexy on in the Big Easy with Quaid. This is definitely style over substance. The crime drama is forgettable but Barkin is forever.

Dennis Quaid , and Ellen Barkin star in this crime drama set in New Orleans, John Goodman also does a good job in here as well in a supporting role.. A cop is tracking a murder case,, possibly gang related, when he runs into a hard nosed female who is checking into police corruption, eventually things get steamy and they get intimate with each other,, he is eventually accused of taking bribes, and meanwhile the murders continue,, and the gangs insist that they had nothing to do with the murders that are taking place in the Big Easy. So our cop has to figure out who is behind all of the murders,, is it the gangs , or do we have a rogue cop going around killing people vigilante style.. very interesting movie,, well worth watching.

Jim McBride's film 'The Big Easy' is an essentially light-hearted crime thriller that integrates elements of romantic comedy with an exaggerated portrayal of life in New Orleans. Ultimately, however, it can't quite decide to play it purely for laughs, so there are also some gruesome scenes and a story of a cop's disenchantment with a life of petty corruption; it's hard to take these seriously in the context of the film as a whole. Whether you like this movie probably depends on what you think of its leads: Dennis Quaid's cocky policeman and Ellen Barkin's very 1980s lawyer. Personally, I'd feel quite easy about giving them a miss.

"The Big Easy" (1987) directed by Jim McBride is a very sexy thriller/neo noir -southern style. I always wanted to visit New Orleans and The Big Easy, "where they do things differently" and its Cajun music are the stars of the movie. Two hot and talented actors (Dennis Quaid at his sexiest) as Det. Remy McSwain, of New Orleans Homicide and criminally underrated Ellen Barkin (Ann Osborne, a beautiful attorney from the D.A.'s office investigating corruption charges against Remy) are incredibly believable in their erotic scenes that make the film deservingly famous. Ned Beatty, John Goodman, and Grace Zabriskie are the part of the first-rate cast in this very decent even if predictable Crime / Action / Thriller / Mystery /Romance
