Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community Jun 20, 2012
Pros: Part psycological thriller, part shoot-em-up
Cons: None-it's a classic
Summary: A sniper named Scorpio (Andy Robinson) is holding the city of San Francisco hostage to the tune of $100,000, and he’s going to kill one random person per day until the Mayor (John Vernon) pays up. With little to go on, it’s up to Detective ... read more

Pros: Great plot, execution, super fun, classic lines, action packed
Cons: None
Summary: Clint Eastwood plays Dirty Harry--the smartest (and handsomest) cop in all of San Francisco. He doesn't necessarily play by the rules, but God love ‘em for it. It's just another day in the life of being a detective--save for the fact that there's a ... read more

Jun 26, 2008
Pros: A cop thriller starring the quintessential anti-hero actor, now in a two-disc package.
Cons: The countercultural disdain is a little heavy-handed.
Summary: Of all the anti-hero vigilante flicks of the 1970s, none has continued to stir as much fervent passion and criticism as Don Siegel's DIRTY HARRY. There's no getting around the reputation this film has received from actual law enforcement officers ... read more

Pros: iconic, passionate, fun
Cons: so far to the right it makes Bill O'Reilly look like Richard Simmons
Summary: "I know what you're thinking. 'Did he fire six shots or only five?' Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow ... read more

Pros: Eastwood charisma, Siegel's direction and Lalo's music
Cons: 35 years of being ripped off by lesser movies
Summary: Dirty Harry created one of the most enduring action film formulas still in use 30 years later.-- The over-the-top lone wolf vigilante who will do the right thing no matter what the cost in the most no-nonsense, take-no-prisoners, save the b.s. for ... read more

Pros: Gritty, compulsive, an original master film
Cons: Dark, gloomy look on society

Cons: Partial nudity, mild expletives, Harry bigoted at times.

Pros: Clint Eastwood
Cons: full of cons and he's putting them in jail
Summary: "I know what you're thinking, punk. You're thinking, did he fire six shots or only five? Well to tell you the truth, I forgot myself in all this excitement. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world and will blow your ... read more

Pros: Clint Eastwood, script, Don Siegal's direction.
Cons: Harry's disregard for certain laws while meting out justice will offend some.
Summary: It must be tough to be a cop, especially in a large city, with all sorts of criminal elements. Often, you have to deal with rotten people, gruesome crime scenes, and the risking of your own life, sometimes, just to deal with those nasty situations. ... read more

Pros: Unflinching, iconic performance from Mr.Eastwood...
Cons: Post-Harry parodies dilute the effect of real scenes.
Summary: Dirty Harry, or Psycho vs. Psycho. This could easily be synopsized as 'Grimacing maniac cop rumbles across San Francisco chasing giggling maniac hippy.' Eastwood traded in his horse, cigars and poncho for a sharp suit, shades and magnum, creating ... read more

Pros: Great lines, Clint Eastwood, stylish direction, jazzy music score
Cons: Not many
Summary: Perhaps now, in the wake of the September 11, 2001 tragedies, is a fitting time to view a film dedicated to all the police officers killed in the line of duty, but then again the film is 1971’s crime action thriller DIRTY HARRY, so all bets are off. Say ... read more

Pros: Eastwood, tight direction by Siegel, tension, action
Cons: Tries a bit too hard
Summary: Well known, and much loved, Pauline Kael was one of the most important film critics ever to wield a pen. She called Dirty Harry "cheerfully fascist". I couldn't disagree more strongly with Ms. Kael's opinion. But more on that later.

Pros: A well made action filled movie.
Cons: None.
Summary: The first time I have watched this movie was in 1972 when it first came out. Ever since, I have truly enjoyed watching this movie. I was never bored with it and stayed up the whole nine yards when I was watching it.
This is about a cop who ... read more

Pros: good pick up lines
Cons: not a family film
Summary: Dirt Harry is R for (3 scences of nudity, multiple cursings, and multiple scences of violence)
This is one of the best cop films ever made. This is a film you might want to get all the guys together and watch. It is a cult classic that ... read more

Pros: Super cop flick and performance from Eastwood, et al
Cons: Right wing propaganda
Summary: ". . . and will blow your head clean off."
The early 1970’s saw some great cop movies, and I think I saw all of them, given that I was a teenager with time on my hands. With all due respect to “The French Connection”, I think the ... read more

Cons: May be too intense for younger audiences...
