Review of Tightrope (1984) by Senor C — 22 Oct 2007
A real gem of a noir that is certainly overlooked & under appreciated by Eastwood fans since most can't relate to the sleaze but Clint is truly a vulnerable anti-hero hero. He's trying to gain control of situations he is losing (or has already lost) control of from the stray dogs he takes in, the role of a single cop father from a wife that has left him to the hookers he handcuffs to their bed posts to satisfy his primal needs.
Only then does he realize he's paving the way for the tennis shoed/ribbon strangler who walks in his shadow. Smart & trashy.
