An atmospheric and sexy crime caper, this stars Dennis Quaid as a New Orleans police detective. He's a smooth talker who butts heads with the new assistant district attorney, Ellen Barkin. She's rigid and plays by the rules; he is mildly corrupt. They soon find themselves romantically entwined, and a bit chagrined. Director Jim McBride (Great Balls of Fire) was in top form with this 1987 sizzler. You may not remember the particulars of the plot, which concerns supposed gang killings and police corruption, because it is the romance that has staying power. Blame this on Quaid and Barkin, who send off enough sparks to light up Bourbon Street. They are not only sexy together, but endearing, which makes you want to like them as much as they like each other. --Rochelle O'Gorman

Odd wide screen cut April 17, 2009
Steve Dossey (Somewhere just beyond or before the crossroads)
FYI: Tho this is labled as widescreen, it does not capture the film shown in the theater. It lops off the top and bottom of the film and provides a TV screen type close up of the action.

With these stars and N'awlins as a backdrop, what isn't to like? Quaid's accent is a bit suspect, but the music is great and the story keeps you involved from end to end.
Yummy! February 1, 2009
Jolie Bonnette (Houston, TX USA)
Okay, Dennis Quaid at his sexiest. What's not to like? This has been on my list of all-time favorite non-fantasy movies for a long time. I was quite pleased to be able to replace my worn out VHS copy with a DVD. :-)
