September 30, 2009Classic! The granddaddy of mean, lone cop films. It?s very quotable too and has been ripped off too many times. Siegels direction is also very cool, the pan-out from the stadium is one of my favourite scenes ever.

August 25, 2009No one can play a bad-ass, squinting anti-hero like Clint Eastwood. Dirty Harry is full of memorable moments that have influenced so many movies that came after it, and it is a true classic of its genre.
The killer, Scorpio, is such a sick and reprehensible S.O.B., that it make...( read more) -
June 9, 2009A good template for "unorthodox cop tracks down psycho killer" movies to come, but one that does not age well.

November 14, 2009"I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask...( read more)

October 30, 2009Clint making tweed look cool. That alone is worth the watch. But its his sheer viciousness that is awe inspiring. The film is nearly 40 years old, I was born 10 years after it was made yet it hooked me straight away. Great to see an American film not set in LA or New York.
