Film Review – Crescent City

In “Crescent City,” there’s the threat of immediate danger with the presence of a serial killer in the area. There’s also pressure building in various relationships, putting partners and lovers at odds during a dark time in Little Rock, Arkansas. Screenwriter Rich Ronat (“American Sicario,” “The Rising Hawk”) appears to have an idea to go beyond the usual in police thrillers, trying to complicate a central situation of investigation with various motivations and secret histories, making it difficult for viewers to stay one step of ahead of all the troubled people hunting for a murderer. The execution of this screenplay is another story, as director RJ Collins (“Don’t Suck”) isn’t skilled with shades of gray, also lacking a great deal of style and suspense with “Crescent City,” which clumsily tries to be a whodunit, but mostly remains a whocares as little of the endeavor becomes passably interesting.
