Review of The Enforcer (1976) by Danny R — 28 Dec 2011
An enjoyable and action-packed third installment of the "Dirty Harry" franchise nicely directed by James Fargo in his directorial debut. Inspector "Dirty" Harry Callahan, Clint Eastwood in another solid performance is up against a murderous militant terrorist group called the People's Revolutionary Strike Force who have made off with cache of stolen military weapons from a warehouse and threaten to terrorize the city of San Francisco if the ransom of 2 million dollars is not payed.
Harry goes undercover to to find the terrorists, only problem is he is saddled with a new inexperience female partner named Kate Moore, wonderfully played by Tyne Daly who turns in a sassy and sympathetic performance, her chemistry with Eastwood is right on target, his amusing chauvinistic dialog with her using his trademark sarcasm is priceless.
Excellent supporting performances by John Mitchum, Harry Guardino, Brandford Dillman, John Crawford, DeVeren Bookwalter and Albert Popwell. Superlative action sequences, shootouts, chases and a suspenseful climactic showdown on Alcatraz island where Harry and Kate try to rescue the kidnapped mayor.
An enormously entertaining crime thriller! Highly Recommended.
