Big Clint Eastwood fan in South Texas. Grew up watching his all his movies. I have yet to see him make a bad movie.The man is smart and is a extremely talented Actor / Director. I own almost all of his movies. They are all worth watching.Clint Eastwood plays veteran, no-nonsense San Francisco Police Inspector "Dirty" Harry Callahan, who carries '44 Magnum, and is not afraid to use it on the assorted bank robbers or murderers that come his way. His current case involves a mysterious sniper(calling himself Scorpio) who is killing random people in the city, and threatens to kill more unless a ransom is paid. Harry pays him the ransom money, but later tracks him down and arrests him after a memorable showdown in a football stadium. Harry is reprimanded for not following proper procedure,and Scorpio(Andrew Robinson, quite good) resumes his campaign of terror against the city in general, and Harry in particular... Hard-hitting police drama is among the best ever made, stylish and riveting direction by Don Siegel, a thought-provoking and mesmerizing story, and the dynamic of good but disillusioned cop Harry against the evil madness that Scorpio represents. Audiences loved seeing a cop like Harry take on crime, and this situation is still relevant today. An all-time classic, not to be missed.Read full review
This is a fantastic movie which depicts a man who knows how the system works and doesn't work. Clint Eastwood excels in his protrayal of Dirty Harry. He draws the viewer into his character in such a way that you begin to see the system as he sees it and you really want to do something about it. You know that you cannot change the system because of its "political correctness" and you soon realize that the criminal can easily manipulate the system because he understands the "political correctness" better than those who created it. Dirty Harry is well aware of the flaws and also manipulates the system to cause the criminal to error at which point he can administer proper justice. I think it is a great movie because it demonstrates how easily we can lose control of our justice system because of city polity. I would recommend this movie as a must see.Read full review
Great movie, Clint is the best there is. It doesn't matter whether it's a western of his, or these Dirty Harry movies. Clint has been an all time favorite actor of mine. Watch this movie and all the other Dirty Harry movies, you won't be disappointed.

A film script from the 1960s, came into hollywood, first into the hands of Paul Newman, he altered the script, through it back into the slush pile, several more actors looked at it, made their alterations, then finally in 1974 Clint Eastwood saw it, changed the script back to it's original script. Harry Guardino also stars, and a young Andrew Robinson who plays zodiac the killer. Clint Eastwood stars as Dirty Harry. Watch for the young and beautiful Rene Russo (thomas Crown Affair. Ransom). Harry, gets every dirty job that comes along. Harry doesn't play favorites, Harry hates everyone. He brutalizes and tortures suspects, he shoots everything. The winning smile and the coarseness: Do you feel lucky PUNK! In all this excitement I lost count in how many shots I fired...the ever growing Eastwoodism, of our time...We are fortunate to have Clint Eastwood as a Director and an Actor. Great Camera angles, fantastic shots from around San Francisco. Other movies to see....Magnum Force, Pale Rider, and the spaghetti westerns by sergio leone. Any Eastwood fan, would love to have this in his collection.Read full review
