This movie has been a favorite of mine for a long time. I am an admirer of Dennis Quaid's acting. The writing is sharp, the chemistry between the characters is believable. The story moves forward at a steady pace, the first viewing, presents plot twists that are not telegraphed, a nice change from the spoon fed stories, so common where writers seem to think viewers aren't capable of following plots without obviousness. Ned Beatty, another actor I admire, also stars in this movie. The ambience is light-hearted despite the intensity of passion, and murder, the story is comprised of. The flavor of Cajun influence and the musical atmosphere of New Orleans, leaves you wanting more, but compliments the movie perfectly. I enjoy watching this movie over and over. Amazon delivered this movie with their consistent level of exceptional quality & service. If you enjoy this movie I recommend "Undercover Blues" with Dennis Quaid & Kathleen Turner. Another excellent cast of actors, writing and truly, equally entertaining. Read more

Received this DVD in great condition and in a timely manner. Have always loved this movie. Dennis Quaid was really young and in great physical condition. He did a good job of having a New Orleans accent, too. And great supporting cast. Read more

You don't see too many crime thrillers set in the Big Sleazy, but this is one. I love the story and the characters in it, including the leads, Lt. Remy McSwain and ADA Anne Osborne. It's like Moonlighting on the bayou, lol. Anyway, this should absolutely be a blu-ray AND a 4K re-release - WITH THE DIRECTOR'S CUT - to include a missing scene towards the end of the film. Read more

I have been a fan of this movie since I was a teenager. There are not enough words to describe what a great movie this is. It has everything: action, romance, and the right amount of humor to mix it together to make one hell of a Gumbo! The music and the location are exquiaite! My only complaint is how it ends. it's too abrupt. Other than that, you can't go wrong for a perfect "date night movie." I did come across a clip on Youtube concerning a deleted scene that is apparently included in the European releases of the DVD. Not to spoil the ending but it takes place after the final shootout and the final scene. Added back in to the movie (can you say "extended cut" DVD?) would make more sense. I have watched this over and over, and have even got some of my friends introduced this classic. they sure don't make em like this anymore! Read more

New Orleans is a sexy place, cajun is a sexy voice and this is a sexy movie. I imagine the girls will like this more than the guys because Dennis Quaid is young and hot and the chemistry that he and Ellen Barkin have is absolutely outstanding.There is very little bare skin, but the heat is something that you can actually feel. Watch it with someone you love, or you want to. This is to replace my vhs copy from years ago, if this breaks, I will replace it again. Love love love this movie. Read more
