Tightrope isn't entertaining most of the time although it's ably directed by Richard Tuggle.
The biggest issue is the believability factor. Now, don't get me wrong...Clint Eastwood can play a cop as well
as anyone, but it's not the case this time. On the other hand, I often think of his characters as moral, but the abrupt
change here is hard for me to make the transition.
Another major issue is how slow the pace is. It's also tedious with no buildup of suspense that'll provoke terror.
Rather, the feel is bland...bland...so bland that I can sit through Tightrope and still feel exactly the same as before.
All in all, Clint Eastwood may be an icon, but Tightrope is best skipped.
