Hagrid R Dec 19, 2018 This is a decent, though not entirely flawless, dramatic thriller. Clint stars as a hard-nosed detective (does he play any other kind?) trying to figure out who's behind a string of murders in New Orleans. But these aren't just any murders, as the female victims were all part of the wonderful world of kinky sex. Our hero's mean squint gets even squintier when it becomes obvious the women are being targeted because of their kinky relations with him. It's reasonably paced, not entirely predictable and nicely buffered with some cute (sometimes hilarious) father-daughter moments (Clint's real-life offspring, Alison, plays one of his two girls). Decent watch. See more

Nov 5, 2018 A very exciting thriller... and still enjoyable to watch today. (the self defense part was a bit lol tho. Iiked this one. You can never go wrong with Clint Eastwood :) See more

Oct 9, 2018 Better than expected. Psychological food for thought...

George S Sep 3, 2018 An average thriller that is slow-paced at times. It wasn't bad and the New Orleans setting was unique, but definitely not one of Clint Eastwood's better films. (First and only viewing - 1/27/2019) See more

Poe W Aug 28, 2018 A vastly different Clint in this seamy, steamy movie! Perhaps that's why it doesn't have a much higher rating! People might feel uncomfortable seeing him as a kinky cop! See more

Hermione M Jun 28, 2018 Tightrope (1984) ??? 1/2 / ???? One of Clint's most underrated films. Policeman and single father is brought into ugly side of New Orleans to hunt down a killer, an area he has never been to, or at least in uniform . . . Dank--very dank--but when a flawed hero wrestles with his conscience as much as with the killer it's impossible to resist such a concept. Credible all the way through and no cheap, routine resolutions or predictable outcomes; a truly mature, gripping, and intelligent thriller. See more
