Reviews
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.
