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.

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.

October 23, 2009I simply do not know where to begin. This movie is immortal, plain and simple. Don Siegel and Clint Eastwood are at their A game. The whole running time they had a twinkle in their eye and a smirk on their face. They knew with complete metaphysical certitude that Dirty ...( read more)

October 15, 2009Can see why it became such a massive classic that one scene where he does his famous do you feel lucky speech its worth watching just for that. Really enjoyed the story moved along really well and the action was pretty decent back for 1971. Eastwood just keeps kicking ass in ever...( read more)

October 1, 2009As usual Clint Eastwood plays his roles to his fulllest potential.
