If you loved Great Balls of Fire!, try The Big Easy

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Jim McBride, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Great Balls of Fire!, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Big Easy is

New Orleans. Jazz night. A thrown string of beads. Lieutenant McSwain works a murder case, downtown corruption suddenly everywhere he looks. Personal and professional lines blur fast. Noir with crawfish.
