29KDer Wolf hetzt die Meute: Directed by Richard Tuggle, Clint Eastwood. With Clint Eastwood, Geneviève Bujold, Dan Hedaya, Alison Eastwood. New Orleans single dad and cop Wes Block (Clint Eastwood) goes after a serial rapist-killer, but when he gets too close to the target, the hunter suddenly becomes the hunted.
“Here is a very, very tense thriller about a New Orleans cop (Clint Eastwood) finding a serial killer…..and vice-versa.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis 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. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eEastwoodu0026#39;s character in u0026quot;Tightropeu0026quot; is a complex one. On one hand, heu0026#39;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 – heu0026#39;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.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eYes, this film is a bit too much on the seedy side for my normal tastes, definitely sordid, but very well done. Itu0026#39;s a story that grabs you early and locks you in all the way.”
