Magnum Force Reviews

Even though I have watched many times the Spaghetti Westerns starring Clint Eastwood when I was a kid with my dad, I discovered his Dirty Harry flicks much later on in my life. Eventually, even though I still prefer his Westerns, I still enjoyed his famous cop features as well. The interesting thing with this franchise is that the sequels were actually pretty decent and this one was not an exception. Obviously, since ‘Dirty Harry’ was a big success, it wasn’t really surprising that they decided to go a forward with a sequel but it was pretty cool that this 2nd installment was actually quite entertaining. To be fair, it wasn’t really groundbreaking but it was still a decent story and, of course, Clint Eastwood was really bad-ass. It is also interesting to note that the original idea was originally pitched by Terrence Malick for ‘Dirty Harry’ but it was at the time rejected by Don Siegel. However, Eastwood really liked this script which was the basis of this sequel which was subsequently written by John Milius and further developed by Michael Cimino. To conclude, I thought it was a decent sequel and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
