Movie Reviews:

  • Andres Gomez: Quite forgettable.
  • Eastwood is still good as Harry, OK in the direction and the new thing is to have a woman as the main criminal but that’s it.
  • 80’s music arrive to wipe out one of the few things that were good about these movies. The plot is really bad. Quite an example of early 80’s movies.
  • r96sk: An improvement on ‘The Enforcer’, if still short of ‘Dirty Harry’ and ‘Magnum Force’.
  • Clint Eastwood (also dir.) remains the constant high of these films, as the American rattles off a famous catchphrase in this installment. Sondra Locke is very good behind Eastwood, she’s arguably the most standout support cast member from the whole series (thus far) to be honest.
  • A deep storyline coupled with all the usual things you get from this set of films and you have with a suitably entertaining flick. Interested to see how it all wraps up with finale ‘The Dead Pool’.
