Five or Six?


Dirty Harry (1971)

Directed by Don Siegel this film stars Clint Eastwood, Andy Robinson, Harry Guardino and Reni Santoni. A sniper attempts to hold a whole city to ransom while a hard nose cop hunts him down.

Attempting to ask if it's ever right to go beyond the law to stop a crime this film doesn't go as deep into it's themes as it could but it certainly sparked something both in cinema and the minds of the viewers. Well made as always with Don Siegel this is a decent thriller even if it does lean a bit too far to the right for some. There are some iconic moments and a good climax that make this film still hold up.

4/5
