What fun if one can sustain disbelief. Actually, it's quite a comic film. Like a live-action cartoon. Not one scene in the entire movie is believable, which makes this a classic cop/villain comedy. You must see it to believe it and then one has to wonder....What??? Clint Eastwood was made for this role and while Sondra Locke was good, any actress of her time could have done just as well. Basically a two character movie, this merits a look for fun. Well photographed and edited with a nice jazz score at the beginning. Much credit goes to Eastwood for his fine direction. This could have been a DIRTY HARRY movie, but then it wouldn't be as fun as HARRY was a much better cop than the one Eastwood plays here.
