Review of Magnum Force (1973) by Jim W — 28 Jun 2009

Harry (Clint Eastwood) is back with no explanation why, since he threw away his badge in the end of the first movie. He's up against a team of crooked cops that also bend the rules, except they kill in cold blood. The movie isn't as good as the first one but Eastwood at least has his moments.

Except he was more sarcastic and tough in the first. He's sarcastic but not as much of a mean bastard as he was in the first. He's more of a team player in this one, which isn't as fun as him being a loner badass cop. But the movie is still better than a lot of cop dramas of today. The plot is a little like Rightous Kill for instance but this movie is a lot better.
