The Big easy 1986



Starring: Dennis Quaid

A New Orleans homicide detective is persuaded by a lady investigator from the DA's office to look into irregularities in the department.

Routine police corruption thriller but with a nice mixture of action & humour. Dennis Quaid draws up an interesting character & although I never believed Ellen Barkin as a deputy DA, her chemistry with Quaid kept the whole thing watchable and interesting. Ned Beatty was superb as the police captain and came very close to stealing the whole movie.   7/10
