Richard Gere and Kim Basinger sizzle in a searing action thriller of passion and murder, NO MERCY.

Basinger is the sultry Cajun beauty, Michel, caught in the war between Gere and vicious crimelord, Losado, the man who possesses her. Jillette's vendetta takes him from the streets of Chicago to the violent underworld of New Orleans, where he abducts Michel to flush out Losado. He escapes into the treacherous bayou withhis unwilling captive but as their pursuers close in and the danger mounts, so does their lust for each other. Out of time and out of luck, Jillette confronts Losado in an explosive climax where there is...NO MERCY.

I Liked This Film.
I liked this movie. there are very few movies shot in New Orleans so I must say that the setting was of great interest to me. The cast were all fantastic and everyone worked well together. Richard Gere plays a cop after the people who murdered his partner in cold blood. He chases down the culprits and in a kind of Western like ending shoots it out with them, kills the lead bad guy and absconds with the most beautiful woman in New Orleans. I think the bad guy was a bit too bad for his own good. Killing one of his own men on the eve of battle was stupid. It cost him one of his guns and unbeknownst to him at the time would cost him the battle (The Man's Gun Was Appropriated By Gere). Why not wait and kill the guy after the battle. This man was too brutal and ruthless for his own good. Crabbe, the actor who played him was great as a villain. This DVD was the first I've seen in my new rotation for August. I plan to see about 20 or 23 DVDs and I will review as many more as I can. I'm viewing Wild Things now. I give this Four Stars. I'm the 141st person to review this film. Wish it had been made on widescreen, however. A. Nathaniel Wallace, Jr.

I'm a native New Orleanian & am proud that I was an extra in this action packed thriller!!!
This is really a good movie and I'm proud to have been an extra in it. Meeting Richard Gere was the bomb!! It was one of the best days I can remember in 1985. seated at gate 9 in the Louis Armstrong Airport in New Orleans with Michael Hausman, Sr., as executive producer and Dino De Laurentis, as producer, this movie stands out for action, action and more action...then there's the reactions. You'd enjoy this flick, believe dat! Richard Gere makes himself understood, right, well and real! Purchase this, you won't be sorry. And no I do not receive any royalties as an extra! Oh I'm in the airport scene, white rabbit coat, white leather heels, Levi Strauss jeans and tan suitcase, as Here exits the unmarked unit! They actually kept me in frame until I walked out of sight! Twelve hours at the airport, three scenes, lots of hurry up and wait! Great experience, highly recommend this film! Enjoy No Mercy! Basinger & Genre's best flick together!

Great movie!
Two of my favorite stars with a moving story of the lady’s life before she was rescued by Richard Gere. Great acting by Kim Bassinger and Richard Gere. Very entertaining

2.5 stars - action is OK but main character is a jerk
The initial idea is not bad but the story fails to really engage because the main character is not a moral man. He is basically a jerk who only cares about taking REVENGE for his murdered partner. It's NOT about saving a woman from slavery or protecting society from a dangerous murderer/criminal. And the attraction towards him by Kim Basinger's character is just sad - he slaps her, says nasty rude things that only an abused woman like her would be willing to overlook. Hence I don't want to root for him to get her, he does not deserve it in the slightest. As for the action part of the movie, it's OK but not great. Early on I had to cringe at a glaring faux pas of the film makers - he puts hand-cuffs on his LEFT hand and her RIGHT hand but when they get into a car she is sitting on his right side and yet he is able to drive completely unencumbered! Come on - could've made some effort to make it more realistic! Bottom line - action is ok, acting is not bad (Jeroen Krabbe is great as a villain) but the story itself does not fully engage and falls flat at the end. It's important to have a hero at the core of such a genre - think Lethal Weapon or Die Hard. The main reason we love these characters and are willing to forgive their unconventional methods is because they fight the GOOD fight and check their egos at the door. But this does not happen in "No Mercy".
