pretty stupid and painfully overlong but it's beautifully shot by savides (duh) and holy shit is baldwin fucking ridiculous here (that accent!)

The first big-screen treatment of one of the Lt. Dave "Streak" Robicheaux detective novels of Burke, shorn of much of his literary pretension. The image -- the proverbial picture that's worth a thousand words -- eliminates the need for all that knee-deep verbiage, all that slogging scrutiny of vegetation and climate, in setting the Crescent City scene. And it clears out, as well, some of the emotional cargo carried by the recovering alcoholic hero.
