Watch Tightrope For Free

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Simply Perfect

Fantastic!

Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

Clint Eastwood is known to play law enforcement in his film. In "Tightrope", I hope you got good balance. Eastwood plays Wesley Block, a detective in New Orleans who uncovers the murders of prostitutes. He is divorced, his daughters love him very much. They don't like the mother's new beau that much. He tried his best to be with them, but his work always seem to get in the way. A new partner helps him out a lot in his cases, and the daughters take a liking in her. The killer in the film happened to be an ex cop. Talk about giving law enforcement a bad name. This movie has got a lot of suspense. A lot of darkness surrounding the main character. But there is less gunfire than the Dirty Harry films that I am used to. It could have been been more intriguing. It is a nice film. 2.5 out of 5 stars

Continuing my plan to watch every Clint Eastwood movie in order I come to Tightrope (1984)Plot In A Paragraph: Wes Block (Eastwood) a New Orleans detective, is leading an investigation into a killer who is raping and murdering women. His enquiries lead him into the seedy side of town where he is no stranger off-duty. All this contrasts with his home life as a single parent with two young girls. In this tense thriller, disturbing parallels are drawn between Eastwoods' detective and the massmurderer so that at one stage we wonder if the cop and the killer are in fact the same person. Wes Block is one of Eastwood's most fascinating characters, he is a man of many faces: caring father, hard as nails detective and a sexual deviant. Could he also be the killer?? By 1984 audiences were used to seeing Eastwood play characters with an eye for the ladies and was similarly accustomed to seeing women reciprocate his sexual advances, albeit after a little mutual bickering in some cases. To many, Eastwood represented a certain brand of confident, virile masculinity. Tightrope differs because Eastwood plays a character who is troubled by his own sexuality. Wes Block gets off on the kinky sex games against his better judgement. His investigation leads him to the red light district on a nightly basis, and on each occasion business blends into pleasure. Truthfully there is an air of helplessness in the way he's repeatedly drawn back there. It's even hinted that Block might be gay (The ultimate subversion of Eastwood's persona) on more than one occasion.Of the supporting cast Dan Hadaya (an actor I adore) has a role as a detective, but it's Clint's daughter, Alison Eastwood who stands out, showing Kyle isn't the only talented Eastwood offspring. Most movies set in New Orleans feature a cracking soundtrack and Tightrope is no exception. Opening with Lennie Niehaus's sultry score, the soundtrack is perfect for the movie. Tightrope grossed $48 million at the domestic box office, to end 1984 the 13th highest grossing movie of the year. A drop from Sudden Impact, but still a decent, profitable hit.

A New Orleans detective is leading an investigation into a killer who is raping and murdering women. His enquiries lead him into the seedy side of town which he is no stranger to, when he is off-duty. All this contrasts with his home life as a single parent with two young girls. Then on the case he meets a counsellor with whom a relationship possibly offering some normality to his darker side.....It's an interesting concept, obviously a huge curiosity piece when released back in the day, because Eastwood was arguably the biggest star on the planet, and this was his Basic Instinct, if you would.It's pretty tame stuff when you watch it now, but one can imagine how many people were shocked by the imagery, and the amount of sex and violence that is on display.For a film with such a dark tone, Eastwood plays such a homely family man, grounded and down to earth, so kudos to his performance for not acting all strange and weird when he delves into his fantasies. He's just as normal as he always is.The red hues obviously indicate the illicit passions in the film, and although the killer is just your perfunctory eighties villain, his motives and actions are pretty macabre.As with all Malpaso movies released in the early eighties, we are treated with a city shot from a helicopter, and a wonderful jazz score.It's an oddity for sure, and Eastwood took a huge gamble. Luckily it paid off, but then he made City Heat, and it went downhill for a couple of years.Would make a great triple bill with Cruising, and 8mm

If it's a Clint Eastwood film, it's bound to be great; and this one was excellent. I remember seeing this at the theater when I was 12 years old and man did it give me chills. I wonder what women who lived alone or with a roomy who saw this thought; especially those that lived in New Orleans. The story is entirely filmed in New Orleans, a great place for a film, especially a thriller like this one.The story is about a serial killer who targets women, mainly single women or those with jobs that involve entertaining men at joints, if U know what I mean. It has excitement from the beginning to the end.Clint Eastwood is a cop on the case trying to find out who is murdering these women for no reason. The murders are usually commented by some sex act, strangulation, it wasn't clear to me on that. The majority of them were committed in strip joints, massage parlor's, etc.. In the beginning it is a man hunt, the killer leaving behind biological evidence pointing to a male of type O blood, among other biological evidence. Detective Block, Eastwood, teams up with a rape counselor, Genevieve Bujold, I 4got her character name. Along with the NOPD, a man hunt ensues, when Block finds out who is responsible for the murders a Levendar Roth, all hell breaks loose. Levendar Roth was a ex-cop who Block busted on double rape charge, block knows his family and new love interest are in danger because Roth is out for revenge. It is up to Block to find this psychopath before his family or another innocent victim his next on Roth's list.This is a great film I recommend it to anyone especially if Ur single, it can save your life, and so U the dangers that lurk in society and in the dark.Kris L.
