So.... why one star? Because, honestly, it's boring. It kind of does to New Orleans' red-light district what Reds did to John Reed.... sucked all the excitement out of the story in an effort to make it artistic.
It's well acted, but it's weak on plot, weak on story, weak on entertainment.... but,...
