Review of Dirty Harry (1971) by Tom M — 24 Apr 2010
As pure fantasy, this is very entertaining. To the extent that the film parallels psycho killer Scorpio's sadism with lawman Dirty Harry's sadism, it's interesting. In the end, the cartoonishness undercuts any serious intent.
Still, there's some great film making here--the long sequence in which Harry delivers the ransom to Scorpio is just one of many highlights.
