Review of Dirty Harry (1971) by Andy P — 01 May 2014
A canny mix of the simple and sophisticated, Dirty Harry is a gritty, taut and brilliantly well constructed police thriller with a fascistic anti-hero and super-psychotic villain who are vivid, hyperbolic cartoons who gain definition not through nuanced character development but through their interaction with the film's richly articulated environments, which are no mere back drop for the film thanks to Don Siegel's brilliant exploitation of San Francisco locations.
