On the other hand, they might be happy to find that their hometown is not represented at all in this overplotted and instantly disposable drama, a bland gumbo of serial killer tropes, internal affairs investigation, Satanic sex addicts and buddy-cop shoot-\u2019em-up stuff. The movie opens day-and-date Aug. 16 in limited theatrical runs as well as on digital platforms, but it\u2019s really best suited for home screen perusing \u2014 just so viewers can intermittently hit pause and ask one another, \u201cWait, what the hell was that all about?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Terrence Howard and Esai Morales struggle mightily \u2014 and do more for the movie than it ever does for them \u2014 while attempting to impose some degree of plausibility (or at least coherence) on the convoluted and often contradictory goings-on. They do yeoman work here as veteran cops based in Little Rock, a location dutifully and repeatedly identified by extended exterior shots of the Little Rock Police Department.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Howard plays Brian Sutter, a churchgoing family man haunted by flashbacks to the violent end of an ill-fated drug bust, while Morales is cast as Luke Carson, Brian\u2019s longtime partner, a loose cannon whose interrogation tactics elicit this not-entirely-disapproving appraisal from their captain: \u201cJesus Christ! This guy thinks he\u2019s Dirty Harry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    That captain (Alec Baldin, picking up an easy paycheck) grows so impatient with their progress in tracking down a serial killer terrorizing the community that he adds a new member to their team: Jaclyn Waters (Nicky Whelan, as credible as she can be under the circumatances), a beautiful Australian-born cop identified as a recent transfer from Tulsa. Carson is instantly suspicious, if not downright hostile, and not just because Waters proves totally immune to his swaggering come-ons. But Sutter is more accepting \u2014 very accepting, as a matter of fact \u2014 for reasons that have little to do with their ongoing investigation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    One thing leads to another as director RJ Collins (\u201cAmerican Sicario\u201d) and screenwriter Rich Ronat (\u201cGrand Isle\u201d) pile one twist after another in a manner that strongly suggests scads of day-to-day rewrites. The plot has something to do with sexual escapades connected to Sutter\u2019s neighborhood church, something else to do with an extramarital affair involving two characters who periodically appear to be prime suspects, and still something else to do with a traumatized youngster who grew up to be a brilliantly disguised executioner of unfaithful husbands and other fornicators.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    For a while, it\u2019s mildly intriguing to see how \u201cCrescent City\u201d alternates among Sutter, Carson and Waters while dropping hints that one (or maybe none) is a psycho killer, and the actors toss possible motives back and forth like they\u2019re handling a hot potato. Unfortunately, everything leads to two absurdly contrived twists, and a coda that plays like it was tacked on after preview audiences objected to the apparent quietus of a major character.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Blockbuster store shelves used to be overburdened to the point of near-collapse with unremarkable trifles such as this.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
