Review of Dirty Harry (1971) by Brad G — 10 Aug 2012

When the Law gets in the way of Justice, there's Inspector Harry Callahan to 44 Magnum his way through the wretched sea of deviants overrunning the city of San Francisco. And when he's not blasting holes in bureaucratic red tape, Eastwood sneers and soapboxes against the puttzes in charge, condemning their weak rules and regulations.

And once the iconic "Do You Feel Luck?" was uttered a whole genre of one-liner action flicks was born. Plus, Andrew Robinson is disgustingly terrifying as the Scorpio killer; his whiney voice and piggish squeals of pain are the stuff of nightmares.
