Delta Heat

Delta Heat Review



In this obscure 1992 thriller, Anthony Edwards plays Los Angeles detective Mike Bishop, whose partner has his heart ripped out by an unknown killer after he tracks shipments of a designer drug to New Orleans; this morbid m.o. fits that of a local drug kingpin who supposedly died years earlier. Upon his arrival in the Big Easy, Bishop convinces a retired cop (Lance Henriksen) who worked the original case to assist him, much to the chagrin of local law enforcement, who would rather leave the case closed. Together, the unlikely twosome take on not only suspicious locals and antagonistic cops but each other as they learn to work together. Director Michael Fischa takes the conventions in Sam A. Scribner's script--the fish-out-of-water concept, regional police resentful of the outsider invading their space, the seductive daughter of a suspected villain--and plays them without major contrivances thanks to the enthusiastic performances from Edwards and Henriksen. Despite his initial awkwardness in the role, it's fun to watch Edwards play the prissy, image-conscious L.A. cop who literally gets down and dirty as he learns harsh survival lessons in the swamps and back roads of New Orleans. There's definitely a low-budget feel to this movie, but the ultimate ending keeps you guessing. --Bryan Reesman

Heat & Dust [VHS]

Heat & Dust [VHS] Review



A persistent clash of cultures lies at the heart of Heat and Dust, the Merchant/Ivory team's most acclaimed drama prior to 1985's A Room with a View. The celebrated trio of director James Ivory, producer Ismail Merchant, and screenwriter Ruth Prawer Jhabvala were perfectly suited to this time-skipping story of thwarted romance, based on Jhabvala's novel, in which the colonial British find themselves perpetually at odds with the vibrant rhythms of India. In this most sensual of environments, two related British women, separated by six decades, discover that their independent spirits are not entirely welcomed within the confines of colonial etiquette. Olivia (Greta Scacchi) defies her stringent husband in the 1920s, while her great-niece Anne (Julie Christie) discovers, upon getting pregnant by an Indian local in the early '80s, that she and Olivia have more than a little in common. Jhabvala's feminism is subtle but forcefully dramatized, and under Ivory's sensitive direction, this tale of two women is a defiantly resonant tribute to love wherever one may find it. --Jeff Shannon
