Review of Tightrope (1984) by Danny R — 21 Jan 2012
A riveting suspense thriller about a New Orleans homicide detective named Wes Block, played by Clint Eastwood in a remarkable performance who goes off the sexual deep end when is wife leaves him, as he explores the darker side of sexuality, at same time a sadistic serial killer is terrorizing the city with string of sex murders, Eastwood finds he has much common with the psychotic he is pursuing, two men on opposing sides of the law with the same taste in sleaze sex.
Expert supporting performances from Genevieve Bujold, Dan Hedaya, Jenny Beck, and Alison Eastwood. A well-crafted, exciting thriller that is brilliantly written and directed by Eastwood's protegee Richard Tuggle.
Highly Recommended.
