I am sure I had seen this film before, because so many of the images looked familiar, maybe I did but I forgot to comment, but anyway, I've seen it now. Basically a string of sexually-related murders are taking place in New Orleans, and Capt. Wes Block (Clint Eastwood) is the detective investigating. At the same time he is struggling to raise his two daughters, Amanda (Alison Eastwood, Clint's real daughter) and Penny (Jennifer Beck), and a relationship is growing with tough rape prevention officer Beryl Thibodeaux (Geneviève Bujold). The tightrope by the way is the fact that the killer shares the same sexual preferences/tastes as Block, e.g. bondage, masochism, you can tell this when he finds one of his interviewees murdered. Also starring The First Wives Club's Dan Hedaya as Det. Molinari, Marco St. John as Leander Rolfe, Rebecca Perle as Becky Jacklin, Regina Richardson as Sarita, Randi Brooks as Jamie Cory and Jamie Rose as Melanie Silber. This wasn't completely what I expected, even if the material did look familiar, and to be honest, I can see why it is underrated, it is quite dated in my opinion, but worth a look. Good!
