No Mercy (1986)

In the gritty underbelly of Chicago, two audacious detectives, Eddie Jillette and Joey Collins, ply their trade in the perilous world of undercover work. Their lives take a sinister turn during a routine drug stakeout when they stumble upon a lethal contract hit set to transpire in the exotic labyrinth of New Orleans. The threads of this deadly assignment weave a personal noose around Eddie, propelling him into the heart of the sultry southern city on a mission of justice and retribution. Eddie's primary lead is the opulent Deveneux family, embroiled in an intricate web of power, deceit, and murder. The patriarch, Paul Deveneux, was slated to orchestrate the hit but met a premature death, supposedly at the hands of his intended target back in Chicago. The uncooperative Deveneuxs force Eddie to pivot towards his only other lead, the enigmatic blonde, Michel Duval, who was entwined with Paul in the Windy City. As Eddie plunges deeper into the city's murky depths, he successfully locates Michel, but his presence doesn't go unnoticed. The New Orleans Police Department, unhappy with this interloper, makes him persona non grata. To add fuel to the fire, the intended target, the menacing Losado, discovers Eddie's presence, setting off a deadly game of cat and mouse with not just the law, but the lawless. Caught in the crossfire is Michel, often a pawn, sometimes a bargaining chip, but gradually an unexpected ally and love interest. As Eddie and Michel navigate treacherous territories and unravel the twisted connection between the Deveneuxs, Losado, and Michel, they find themselves drawn to each other amidst the chaos. The intoxicating mix of danger, mystery, and nascent love, leaves New Orleans hanging on the precipice of a storm it may never recover from. The city, like Eddie and Michel, must confront the harsh reality that once the game of life and death is afoot, there is absolutely no mercy.
