(Flash Review)

Eastwood's follow up from Dirty Harry is pretty solid. Even with fewer zinging one-liners and less crisp cinematography, this is still a fun movie. After a string of murders of people with criminal pasts go unresolved, Dirty Harry and a by the book partner are reassigned to apprehend the culprit. Will they step on each other's toes or will they find common ground? Early on you learn that the culprits are of the same ilk as those chasing them down; do they feel the justice system is failing or are these cops as bad as those they brutally punish? Full of moderately unique violence and quality action, this is a movie that builds on Eastwood's cinematic persona.
