Okay so this time this Dirty Harry franchise movie goes back to it's roots of violence in the city rather than a action movie with comedic elements like the previous one. And this time Harry is back with some memorable one-liners. Again with Harry Callahan being a loose cannon and getting chewed out by his superiors. This time a woman is exacting her revenge one the people that wronged her, which gets into a bit of the grey area since Harry is known to get his hands a bit dirty for justice. But that is part of Harry's investigation, but he is also after the mafia that does many corrupt things that gets on Harry's nerves. This is the first and only Dirty Harry movie that Clint Eastwood directed himself and it's a well directed movie. Especially compared to the previous two movies, although I found the second one very entertaining. While the previous Dirty Harry movies were action oriented and this one has action as well, but it's more gritty and dark compared to the previous ones. And also doesn't come off as cheesy or lame like the third one. This is also the first movie in the Dirty Harry franchise where Harry doesn't have a partner. But Harry's unorthodox approach to what he does best is still entertaining to watch. It's a bit different compared to the previous movies in this franchise but it works. This is my third favorite in this franchise.
