Review of Magnum Force (1973) by Quinn B — 18 Jun 2011
Magnum Force is a very good film, just not as good as the first. Once again "Dirty Harry" must solve a case. But this time, he has restrictions and can't do certain things.
Magnum Force is the second film in the Dirty Harry collection. This time, Harry must figure out who is killing all the criminals in the city, with his new partner. He soon finds out that the murderers are rookie cops, with a quick and deadly shot. Harry must find a way to stop them, without endangering others.
At first I was enjoying Magnum Force a little more than the original, but after about 30 minutes, I realized it does not live up to the first. Don't get me wrong, this is a great movie, but like I said, just not as good as the original.
Yet again the content in this is very violent, especially for its time, and the acting is obviously top notch. I am in disbelief with the killing sequences in this, they are more brutal than some in today's movies.
Magnum Force definitely is an entertaining film,.
My rating is.
80%.
