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.

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.

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 sorry

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.

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.

I love this movie. It makes my teeth hurt to think it is a rip off. But from the looks of it I can almost guarantee it is a fake. The last I heard Ted Turner was in the process of gathering votes to reissue it. Thinking this was the reissue I bought it. This is not a Ted Turner release. Or any other studio release. Don't buy this as the quality is no good.

This is a great movie..u can laugh with it and just plain sit back with a bucket or bag of popcorn and just enjoy it. It's certainly not the greatest odd partner cop movie but well worth watching, especially if ur a Lance Hienrickson fan.
