Movie Reviews of Tightrope (Snap Case)
Movie Review: Should have been Clint Eastwood's first acting oscar nomination
Summary: 5 Stars
Anybody who thinks Clint Eastwood gave his finest acting performances in "Unforgiven" and "Million Dollar Baby" should see this film, released in 1984. At the time, his acting talent was not as respected as it is now, which is why I think this film did not get the critical acclaim it should have.
Clint gives a flat out amazing performance as a police officer investigating the murder of prostitutes in red light new orleans while also exploring his own disturbing appetites for kinky sex.
The film is deceptive. It starts out as what seems to be a typical cop thriller but quickly evolves into something much deeper and multilayered. Clint shows an emotional complexity all the more extraordinary because of its subtlety. It should have easily been his first acting oscar nod.
Also worth noting is that this is one of the best films ever filmed in New Orleans. It excellently captures the unique flavor and ambience of the city. (something all the more precious in this post katrina era)
Alison Eastwood , clint's real life daughter, also gives an amazing performance for a child actor. She should have been awarded more plum parts during that period of her life because of it. It was easily jodie foster- dakota fanning level.
Movie Review: Kinky,Kinky, Kinky Clint...
Summary: 5 Stars
Man, what can be said about a southern detective walking the thin line between deviance and virtue, honor and sluttiness, father and "Whose your Daddy?", well, Clint does it well.
Great story of Clint as a detective hot on the trail of a killer who may be hot on Clint's trail. Some great one-liners, plenty o' nakedness, action, and cute kids. This movie actually makes you feel dirty, but in a good way. I say rent it, buy it, put it under your pillow, drop it off on your co-workers desk and tell them that a good time awaits them. Hopefuly you won't get fired.
late.
Movie Review: Tightrope
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this movie and all of Clint Eastwoods movies. I was grown up on Clint Eastwood because he was always my dads favorite actor. I can not imagine anyone wanting to give his films less then 5 stars because he is so awsome and so are all his films. This movie is a good thiller and is action pacted. I wouldn't trade any of my Clint Eastwood movies for nothing. This movie is worth the money to buy it and of course as uaual Eastwood's acting is excellent. If you have never seen this film you are missing out on a good one.

Movie Review: Explore the fascination with the dark side of the hero!
Summary: 5 Stars
Clint portrays the dark side of a homicide cop who is investigating a series of murders in New Orleans. While Clint is a single father and has a menagerie of dogs at home, he also has kinky sex with prostitutes. The killer he is targeting becomes aware of Clint's proclivities and uses this to taunt Clint. An interesting tale of the tension of opposites and the need to reconcile them.Movie Review: RICHARD TUGGLE, OPUS 1
Summary: 5 Stars
***** 1984. Written and directed by Richard Tuggle. That's one of the Eastwood movies I prefer. At that time, Clint began to play with his image and delivered with TIGHTROPE a fascinating journey into New Orleans's red district and into a tortured mind. Masterpiece.
