Review of Dirty Harry (1971) by 3Ebfan511 — 28 May 2019

This is a modern film noir classic, set in San Francisco in the 1970's. The debut of the iconic character from Clint Eastwood, but even better, I loved the plot and feeling of the film as it was pretty much about the "Zodiac" Killer, and was made while that case was still fresh in the public consciousness a few years after it happened.

It felt much like another film I liked, "Zodiac" and is almost a companion piece to that, as that one is more investigative, and this one is more atmospheric, has more action, and of course the 70's milieu.

So if you like action films, you will probably like it, and if you like thrillers, mysteries, and similar genres, you would probably like it as well. And the character Clint Eastwood creates is always interesting on screen.

Surprisingly it was way better than I thought it would be, and ends up as one of my favorite movies from the 70's.
