Description

Tightrope (Blu-ray)Clint Eastwood, America's Oscar-winning box office sensation ("Unforgiven," "Million Dollar Baby"), portrays a homicide detective who's tracking a sex killer through New Orleans' famed French Quarter. This taut, psychological suspense thriller, co-starring Genevieve Bujold ("Coma"), has proven to be not only one of Eastwood's most highly praised critical successes, but a hot box office grosser as well! The Hollywood Reporter calls it "... a gripping psychological drama... a precisely structured, intriguingly developed suspense thriller." With Dan Hedaya ("Clueless," "The First Wives Club").]]>

Not Perfect But Touching
A very dark film with some good and bad points, 'Tightrope' comes across as yet another variation on the 'Dirty Harry' character. This time we really dwell in the sleazy parts of the character, although Clint does try and redeem himself in the movie. The best parts of the movie are the acting, both Clint (who's never been better) and Genevieve Bujold (who is old enough to play this part effectively), the cinematography (which is pitch black) and the tone, which is grim and dirty and almost noir. The worse parts of the movie is the plot, especially the ending (more than contrived) and the direction (which was disputed and reportedly taken over by Clint). Yet despite the shortcoming of the film - and they are there, believe me! - I still like the film for being yet another example of Clint subverting the audience's expectation. Throughout the 1970's and 1980's (before he gained Hollywood Legend status) an Eastwood produced movie almost always had a way of giving the audience what it wanted while still undermining the genre expectations of the form. Here you have a macho detective who finds himself unable to be a parent or even a romantic partner and must redeem himself, both emotionally and eventually physically. Sure, it is a cheap movie shot on location in New Orleans, but that is what gave Clint the freedom to explore the character. And that is why I like the picture; it is emotion over gloss, substance over action. Plus it has perhaps the best romance in a Clint movie ever, or at least a partner who appears to be his equal. ... show more

Love the quality of the DVDs
What can you say, Clint Eastwood? Loved the DVD. The DVD was a great value; the packaging was great, and it had no scratches, swirl marks, or blemishes.

Good movie and necessary for a Clint Eastwood movie collection.
This DVD of “Tightrope” was delivered as described and came undamaged by delivery. I haven’t watched it all the way through yet, but I watched a few seconds of each scene to see how it would look and play on my TV. It looked great and was well worth the price. I didn’t know about this movie even though it was in theaters when I was still in high school. The plot was too violent for me back then, I guess. But now I’m trying to find all of Clint Eastwood’s movies (that I don’t already have) on DVD for a decent price. He won’t be with us much longer. He turned 95 yrs old this year. ... show more

Dark, underrated Eastwood masterpiece
This Eastwood film portrays a much darker view of life than previous Eastwood efforts. A very suspenseful and gripping film. In it, Eastwood plays Detective Wes Block. Block is pursuing a serial killer who is murdering prostitutes in the seedy underside of New Orleans. Block finds himself strangely drawn into this underworld and walking the "tightrope" between right and wrong, good and evil, as he balances his search for the killer. Meanwhile, his behavior eerily shadows the killer's deviant pursuits quite often leaving the viewer gasping in shock. In the role of a rape counselor is Genevieve Bujold, as Beryl Thibodeaux. An excellent counterbalance to Block, she plays on the tightrope, too. We watch as his tendency towards the lurid develops, yet her job is one of comforter and defender of those who are victems of violence and also to prevent violence against women. Their attraction creates an interesting tension during the film. Another interesting feature of "Tightrope" is how it shows the difficulty Wes Block faces raising two daughters as a single father, especially given the nature of his job. Eastwood's real-life daughter, Alison, plays one of the daughters in this film. Without giving away too much of the plot, I should say that mentally and physically there is some threat to the family. Overall, I would say that this film is one of Eastwood's best efforts, although it has been somewhat overlooked. For true Eastwood fans, I feel it is truly worth watching. Highest ratings. ... show more

OFFBEAT EASTWOOD
TIGHTROPE is a Clint Eastwood cop film, to be sure, but don't expect Harry Callahan; this guy is a casualty of war, fighting monsters and perhaps catching a wee bit of the taint himself. I won't try to describe it, but I do recommend it.

This is not the complete film.
At 114 minutes, I had hoped that this would be a complete version of the original film, but, it wasn't. For the benefit of those who never saw the complete film, what's missing are key plot elements starting with the opening scene where Block is assigned to investigate the murder of a prostitute because he knew her; she had been a witness in one of his cases. Another occurs at a crime scene where Block only begins to suspect that he's being set up and, startled to discover that this victim is a girl that he interviewed and had sex with, tells what he thinks to be a white lie, claiming that he hadn't gotten around to her yet when asked if this wasn't one of the girls he had already interviewed. Thus it is that, when it's discovered he hadn't volunteered knowing yet another of the victims and is forced to deny knowing any of the rest, Block is forced to walk the principle tightrope the title refers to; trying to keep his personal life together and stay on the job long enough to solve the case else he's sure to be convicted by the next officer assigned. There's something else missing, but, space wont permit. ... show more
