Review of Dirty Harry (1971) by Rebekah L — 29 Sep 2011

Dirty Harry is a film by Don Siegel and is quite possible the greatest crime thriller I have ever seen, and I do not say that lightly, I mean I have never seen a film that is so sure in itself that it knows that it is going to be a hit, and from the first moments of the film we know this will be a great film.

. The story is not what it seems by just looking at it, and yes it may be just a simple crime film but its mostly a character driven movie that has a incredible protagonist that is just trying to find a killer, and I think that this film would not been half as good without the great characters we are given, and even if it is just a simple crime story, it still was incredibly interesting and I loved it.

The cast is incredible, Clint Eastwood is probably one of the most important people in Hollywood I mean who is this great an actor AND one of the best directors in history, he is just so good in this film and everything he does.

The action scenes were really fun and you could tell they worked hard not to make this a boring crime film. Dirty Harry is not a movie we see every day, it is a film that gives us some of the coolest lines in the history of film, and if you dislike this film, well then I have one question, do ya feel lucky punk?
