In this nocturnal thriller, a cop with a taste for S&M pursues a psychopath who is killing hookers into the sexual underworld of New Orleans. Eastwood is compelling as a flawed man and single father who turns to a female self-defense instructor for help. “A throwback to the great cop movies of the 1940s—when the hero wrestled with his conscience as much as with the killer… Tightrope may appeal to the Dirty Harry fans, with its sex and violence. But it's a lot more ambitious than the Harry movies…Think how unusual it is for a major male star to appear in a commercial cop picture in which the plot hinges on his ability to accept and respect a woman. Eastwood continues to change and experiment, and that makes him the most interesting of the box-office megastars.”—Roger Ebert.
