An average movie

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, even though it was still the weakest installment though. The point is that all these movies were pretty much resting on Clint Eastwood’s shoulders and the plots provided in these flicks were usually not really amazing, at least, that’s my opinion. Well, this time, the story was the weakest they would provide with the always bad-ass Dirty Harry. In fact, Clint Eastwood was supposed to direct this one but after getting rid of Philip Kaufman, he had to take over the directing duties on ‘The Outlaw Josey Wales’ and he was still too busy working on the post-production and couldn’t direct this movie at the same time. One of the asset of this 2nd sequel was Tyne Daly as she gave a solid performance and she would be Harry’s only female partner. To conclude, even though this flick was  slightly disappointing, I thought it was still entertaining (it was also a major success when it was released) and I think it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
