Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
The Big Easy is one of the richest American films of the year. It also happens to be a great thriller.
88
Chicago Tribune - Gene Siskel
The film's strength is director Jim McBride's seemingly easy way of presenting us with a New Orleans that is more malevolent and intoxicating than the tourist trap that some think it to be.
88
Washington Post - Hal Hinson
The Big Easy, starring Ellen Barkin and Dennis Quaid, is the sexiest, most companionable movie of the summer. Set in New Orleans, it's an amiable, loping, goof of a movie, with charm to burn and not a thought in its head.
80
Los Angeles Times - Sheila Benson
Eventually the film's suspense underpinnings take over its personal story, yet that tension Quaid and Barkin generate still holds.

Orlando Sentinel - Jay Boyar
The Big Easy is as atmospheric as they come, but -- surprise! -- it's also sharp and swift. Plus, it has ample amounts of chemistry -- the steamy, sexy kind.
