A private user reviewed Dirty Harry (1971)
Still Has Some Teeth
Clint Eastwood's run as "Dirty" Harry Callahan began with this 1971 thriller. The take no shit San Francisco Detective who bends the rules to get his man. This is actually a pretty solid film and has held up fairly well considering its age. Eastwood does his thing, but I think you have to give a little bit of a shout out to Andrew Robinson in this one. His portrayal of the unhinged "Scorpio" was solid.
