There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.
View MoreIf you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
View MorePart 2 in the Callahan franchise. This is a completely other thing than Dirty Harry and I must say that it doesn't matter at all because it is still top notch. Have seen the Death Wish franchise you could see after part 2 that it went totally wrong but Dirty Harry is still strong. Of course the performance of Clint Eastwood as Callahan is superb. I dare to see that it is even better then his performance in Dirty Harry.The opening credits do say it all, the famous sentence of Dirty Harry is repeated here so you immediately knows what your up to. Just before the end credits there's a new line "Men got to know it's limitations". Straight from one of his spaghetti westerns it could come. Being made early seventies it shows in the bad way, there's a lot of racism going on, what was going on back then, but to see it nowadays what they all are saying to the black people is really outdated. also surprised of the nudity added in this action flick. Some full frontal here and there. Still if you can place it in it's time made you will love this, another classic from Clint Eastwood despite some editing faults with the car chase at the end, just watch the car changing with it's damage now and then.Gore 0/5 Nudity 1,5/5 Effects 2/5 Story 3/5 Comedy 0/5
View MoreThe second "Dirty Harry" film, directed by Ted Post (a friend of star Clint Eastwood's from their days in television), is full of smash-ups, crash-ups, a pimp killing a prostitute with drain cleaner down her throat, a metal girder catching a crime czar right in the face, and a police inspector (Eastwood's partner) dispatched in a shameful manner--by opening a bobby-trapped mailbox! The plot is inverted from 1971's "Dirty Harry"--this time, the kids are all right and the cops are the bad guys. No matter; Eastwood's Harry Callahan dispatches with the legalities and mows down the crooked rookies just as he did with the hippie sniper from the predecessor. The screenwriters (John Milius and Michael Cimino!) don't even attempt to recognize the irony inherent in the scenario--it's just a plot gimmick to them, another way to go with this character. Still, for fans of completely mindless action fare, one could do worse than "Magnum Force". It has built-in audience approval, which is impossible to shake; one goes into the movie knowing exactly what to expect--and enjoying that all expectations are fully met. Post keeps it moving--thumping, thumping--like an erotic dance for would-be assassins. ** from ****
View MoreThis was Mr. Eastwood's second appearance as Harry Callahan, and - among the first - his best. You can watch it from time to time and always appreciate the good work from the director. (Who was mostly Clint himself I've read; T.Post credited, though.) The story was picked up after reports about Brazilian police-squads who worked outside the law frames, and swept away criminals without court trails and like processes. Yes, it's kind of old now in 2015, but a beauty as it fits 70's movies. Cliché's, wonderful automobiles and clothes. Wawy hairstyles, not to forget. Future Starsky & Hutch star David Soul is formidable as a biker cop; in my opinion he never topped it in S & H a few years later. Many "Harry-fans" may think I'm crazy who rate this in front of The Enforcer and Sudden Impact ( and the final whistle: Dead Pool. ), but I will keep my rankings that way. Many cool scenes and a gorgeous final makes it equal with Dirty Harry, and a little better than the other three. It would be fun to see Clint in one last elbow leather-patched jacket, playing the coolest cop ever before he turns in, but I think no one (including Mr. Eastwood) bothers at all. But you can always imagine him as retired, keeping up the skill with the .44 on a shooting range, impressing some aspirants on the San Fransisco Police Academy! : )
View MoreDirty Harry is back! And this time, he's up against some vigilante cops who are blowing away all the mobsters in old San Francisco while being harassed by his superior officer Hal Halbrook. Not only that, but there's folks trying to rob stores, hijack planes, one of his buddies is going a bit mad, that guy's wife is hitting on Harry and his Chinese neighbour is looking for a bit of filthy squeezy. Where does a guy find the time? Harry does somehow (although the neighbour would have gone right to the top of the 'to-do- list for me). Even when the guy's trying to grab a burger he ends up pretending to be a jetliner pilot so he can plug a few holes in a hijacker.There's not too much of a plot for this one (the film doesn't need one) – You can solve the mystery of who's behind the killings in about five seconds, but what you do get is loads and loads of bad guys getting what they deserve one way or another, and Harry almost, almost sympathises with the killers. But then doesn't because he's Harry Callaghan and states clearly that he does thing his own way. Because he's Harry Callaghan. And he does things his way. Because he's Harry Callaghan.Also starring the guy who ate baby food in Robocop and David Soul. Loads of gunfights in this one. Maybe a little overlong, but who cares
