Clint Eastwood stars in this psychological thriller about a divorced New Orleans homicide detective whose use of handcuffs extends beyond the line of duty. Wes Block is a good father to his two young daughters, but since his wife left him he has turned to prostitutes with whom he indulges his growing taste for S&M and other kinky sexual practices. When he is assigned to a case involving the brutal slayings of a series of prostitutes and sex workers in New Orleans' red light district, Wes finds his personal and professional life merging in an increasingly disturbing manner.

Eastwood took a chance at the height of his stardom to play a less-than-heroic cop in this gutsy serial-killer thriller.

Eastwood cria um personagem complexo e interessante, mas os elementos policiais da trama, aliados ao ritmo frouxo da história, prejudicam seus esforços.

Film noir at its best, with an intriguing blend of law and order, sin and sex, violence and sado-masochism.
