Reviews for Tightrope
Eastwood took a chance at the height of his stardom to play a less-than-heroic cop in this gutsy serial-killer thriller.
Film noir at its best, with an intriguing blend of law and order, sin and sex, violence and sado-masochism.
Eastwood cria um personagem complexo e interessante, mas os elementos policiais da trama, aliados ao ritmo frouxo da história, prejudicam seus esforços.
