Ratings and reviews

There were a few scenes that I found less than believable. A small number of actors who should have done better but overall a great story with some nice, memorable scenes. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

A career defining moment from Clint. A brilliant portrayal of a complex and intriguing character. Superb music from Lalo Schifrin. Great direction from Siegel. Heaven!

The best of the dirty harry series,a true classic, l never tire of watching it.
