Review of Magnum Force (1973) by Cody H — 13 Aug 2012
A solid sequel to the excellent movie Dirty Harry! This movie Magnum Force is once again about San Francisco Police Inspector 'Dirty' Harry Callahan, but in this one he has a new partner named Early Smith and they both have been temporarily reassigned from Homicide to Stakeout Duty.
Meanwhile, those of the city's criminals who manage to avoid punishment by the courts are nevertheless being killed by unknown assassins. Just like in Dirty Harry this movie is filled with crazy Action scenes and a fantastic performance by Clint Eastwood.
Usually sequels to really good movies don't always work out, but when it came to this one not only did it work out but it also might be just as good as the first one. I know Dirty Harry was an amazing film which everyone loved, but I found this one just as good but people don't seem to realize that this movie is that good.
I know this is not Clint Eastwood's best movie, but again Dirty Harry wasn't his best movie either. So I say enjoy this movie just like how you enjoyed Dirty Harry because there both equally great movies with equally great Action.
