Movie Reviews of Tightrope (Snap Case)
Movie Review: Eastwood as ghost director
Summary: 5 Stars
Eastwood replaced Tuggle as director after, I believe, one day of torpid self-doubting direction. Tuggle maintained directorial credit, though this film is directed by Eastwood himself. And it shows.Movie Review: Superb Eastwood
Summary: 4 Stars
In one of his less well known roles Clint Eastwood again shows that he is always prepared to do the unexpected with his acting. He plays Wes Block, a cop who is trying to catch a serial killer with liking for kinky sex.
The trouble for Wes is that so does he, and in fact he frequents the same places and meets the same women as the killer. Genevieve Bujold plays the rape counsellor who becomes involved with Wes and theres a noteably good performance from Clint Eastwood's daughter who plays one of Wes's two daughters in the film.
Its a brave performance from Eastwood and the whole film is really quite an edgy thriller. From memory I was convinced Eastwood directed this, but seeing it again recently I realised he didn't. So credit to the actual director who did a fine job.
Eastwood was 54 when this was made. If I can be as good shape as he was at that age I'll be a very happy man!
Why this isn't available on region 2 seperately I don't know, as its a better film than most of the Dirty Harry sequels. No doubt it'll be reissued again eventually. Highly recommended.
Movie Review: One Of Eastwood's Darker Films.....And A Good One!
Summary: 4 Stars
Here is a very, very tense thriller about a New Orleans cop (Clint Eastwood) finding a serial killer.....and vice-versa.
This is a very dark (literally) film with a big film-noir look and feel. Neo-noir, I guess, is what they call post-1950 gritty crime films like these.
Eastwood's character in "Tightrope" is a complex one. On one hand, he's a wonderfully loving father of two sweet girls (one played by his actual daughter, and played well), and yet he is a weak man when it comes to prostitutes. But, whatever side he shows - light or dark - he's interesting, as always. So is the female star of this movie, Genevieve Bujold, a woman with a very intriguing face and just a trace of her French accent. Dan Heyada contributes strongly in a low- key performance.
Yes, this film is a bit too much on the seedy side for my normal tastes, definitely sordid, but very well done. It's a story that grabs you early and locks you in all the way.
Movie Review: Great Clint
