Critic Reviews of "The Big Easy"
VarietyJuly 31, 2013Until conventional plot contrivances begin to spoil the fun, The Big Easy is a snappy, sassy battle of the sexes in the guise of a melodrama about police corruption.
Philadelphia InquirerJuly 31, 2013The Big Easy is an extremely enjoyable (and well-lubricated) vehicle for two actors who aren't quite yet stars, but should be.
Orlando SentinelJuly 31, 2013The Big Easy is as atmospheric as they come, but -- surprise! -- it's also sharp and swift. Plus, it has ample amounts of chemistry -- the steamy, sexy kind.
Chicago TribuneJuly 31, 2013The film's strength is director Jim McBride's seemingly easy way of presenting us with a New Orleans that is more malevolent and intoxicating than the tourist trap that some think it to be.
Chicago TribuneJuly 31, 2013It's sleek, briskly paced, firmly controlled and shrewdly dosed with humor, action and romance.
Los Angeles TimesOctober 05, 2011Eventually the film's suspense underpinnings take over its personal story, yet that tension Quaid and Barkin generate still holds. Soldily fine as actors they're also a great pair, like two golden athletes.
United Press InternationalOctober 09, 2016Set against a Cajun background, the movie is a bird's-eye view of a little-known culture operating within a totally familiar urban context. The effect is exhilarating.
Ozus' World Movie ReviewsApril 11, 2016Revels in its slight plot, noirish atmosphere, sassy interplay between main characters and its gumbo-like smells.
South Florida Sun-SentinelJuly 31, 2013Quaid, a competent character actor who looks more like a leading man with each new film, has all the prize scenes in The Big Easy and he does the best he can with them. But they all seem to be castoffs from old Richard Gere movies.
Radio TimesJuly 31, 2013After watching this sizzling crime thriller, you will be at a loss to explain why director Jim McBride failed to go on and take Hollywood by storm. At least the careers of Dennis Quaid and Ellen Barkin were boosted.
Philadelphia Daily NewsJuly 31, 2013Barkin makes the silliness with which her character behaves as credible as is probably possible.
