DVD Reviews of Delta Heat
DVD Review: The best unheard of movie
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie grows on you. I've seen it several times and I'm always glued to the screen. If you like New Orleans as much as I do, you'll love this movie for the location alone. It's a good fun movie.DVD Review: Henriksen, Edwards: Let the fun begin
Summary: 5 Stars
Get ready for fun and action as Lance Henriksen (Stone Cold) and Anthony Edwards (ER) take on a New Orlean's drug ring. Looking mismatched in the beginning since Edwards plays a cop from LA and Henriksen the bayou, you think nothing in common. But they team up together, Edwards being a good sport about the mishaps and Henriksen being the crazy cajun with an attitude, and wreak havoc where ever they go. It's great fun and a chance to see each of them stretch their talents. No disappointment here.DVD Review: A little gem
Summary: 3 Stars
On the face of it Delta Heat seems sort of weak, but once you get past a silly plotline, you'll find that it's a lot of fun. A cop from L.A. is murdered while working undercover in New Orleans. His partner (Anthony Edwards) arrives and launches an investigation, and along the way is partnered with a former N.O. cop named Jackson Rivers (Lance Henriksen). Once the two click, the story really takes on some life, and the byplay between them will have you grinning. The feel of the film is absolutely Nawlins and the peripheral characters nearly steal the show. Nearly. I doubt anyone could wrest this film away from Henriksen, especially after the scene where he gets caught on the doorjamb. What am I talking about? You'll see.
If you like your cop flicks with some tartly comedic overtones, and you don't take it all too seriously, you'll probably like Delta Heat.
DVD Review: Great, Grade B Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of those little known movies that turns out to be really good, especially if you love the backdrop of New Orleans. It's lots of fun. Give this one a try. You won't be sorryDVD Review: A fun and goofy action flick
Summary: 5 Stars
For those of you waiting for the dream-team of Anthony Edwards and Lance Henriksen, here it is! This a surprisingly decent low-budget action flick that works because Edwards and Henriksen make such a great buddy team. Edwards plays a slick LA cop and Henriksen plays a Louisiana swamprat ex-cop who track a voodoo killer in New Orleans. Give a try, you won't be disappointed.
Description of Delta Heat
In this obscure 1992 thriller, Anthony Edwards plays Los Angeles detective Mike Bishop, whose partner has his heart ripped out by an unknown killer after he tracks shipments of a designer drug to New Orleans; this morbid m.o. fits that of a local drug kingpin who supposedly died years earlier. Upon his arrival in the Big Easy, Bishop convinces a retired cop (Lance Henriksen) who worked the original case to assist him, much to the chagrin of local law enforcement, who would rather leave the case closed. Together, the unlikely twosome take on not only suspicious locals and antagonistic cops but each other as they learn to work together. Director Michael Fischa takes the conventions in Sam A. Scribner's script--the fish-out-of-water concept, regional police resentful of the outsider invading their space, the seductive daughter of a suspected villain--and plays them without major contrivances thanks to the enthusiastic performances from Edwards and Henriksen. Despite his initial awkwardness in the role, it's fun to watch Edwards play the prissy, image-conscious L.A. cop who literally gets down and dirty as he learns harsh survival lessons in the swamps and back roads of New Orleans. There's definitely a low-budget feel to this movie, but the ultimate ending keeps you guessing. --Bryan ReesmanGeneral DVDs
