Dirty Harry must foil a terrorist organization made up of disgruntled Vietnam veterans. But this time, he's teamed with a rookie female partner that he's not too excited to be working with. Once again Clint Eastwood delivers an amazing and spectacular adventure as Dirty Harry in 'The Enforcer' a film that is just packed with action, shootings and just a hell lot of fun. Tyne Daly who played the rookie cop named Kate Moore also did a terrific job and she reminded me a bit of Olivia Williams from the 2014 Action, Thriller Sabotage. This is nowhere near as good as the 1st two installments but it's still a great film as well. (A+)

This is the third Dirty Harry movie and the worst one so far. Why? Because although about 85% of the film is great, the ending is terrible in so many ways.The story begins with a group that calls itself 'The People's Revolutionary Strike Force' strikes...killing a couple guys who appeared to be doing nobody any harm. They apparently wanted the truck the men had and use it to raid an incredibly poorly staffed government compound. There they steal M-16s, dynamite, and Laws rockets! With this, they plan on extorting the city out of millions. As usual, Harry has a partner killed AND his bosses are complete morons with little gray matter. Despite this, can the incredibly sexist Harry and his new partner (Tyne Daily) manage to thwart these maniacs (and I am referring to the People's Revolutionary Strike Force...not his bosses)?Up until the film neared the climax, it was mostly good and a welcome addition to the franchise. Then, came an ending with more holes and logical errors than I could count!! First, when Harry and partner learn where the criminals are hold up (remember, they are armed to the teeth with the latest weapons), they tell no one...and get no backup. So, it's two cops with pistols against folks armed for Armageddon. Second, when the lady cop sees one of the terrorists and has a VERY clear shot at him, she yells 'FREEZE'! Why?! These are super-dangerous folks who have already killed a lot of folks...and she gives the guy a chance to escape?! Then, third, after she manages to shoot the guy with her snub-nosed .38, she doesn't bother to pick up the dead man's M-16 rifle!! Fourth, was the final scene where Harry shoots at the leader (who by now is without ammo) with a Laws Rocket...and somehow does not hit the Mayor who is about 10 feet away!! There were many other dumb moments...I just hit the highlights. Because of the dumb ending, I'd give this one a 5...watchable but silly.

I tend to agree with other fans of the "Dirty Harry" films that "The Enforcer" is nowhere near as good as the previous two. The villains in this film aren't as interesting or as menacing and John Mitchum being written out was a disappointment to me. It was good to see Harry Guardino again as Lieutenant Bressler and Bradford Dillman is excellent as the Police Chief. He and Clint Eastwood have some good verbal sparring. Tyne Daly is a convincing, gutsy cop. Also, the humour is a bit better than I expected. There are some good action set pieces but the gritty edge from "Dirty Harry" and "Magnum Force" is sorely missed.

This is the second sequel to Dirty Harry, where Inspector Harry Callahan (Clint Eastwood) teams up with new partner Inspector Kate Moore (Tyne Daly) to go after a terrorist group who threatens to blow up San Francisco if their money demands aren't met. As with the previous films, the mystery begins immediately when the terrorist group shows their murderous intentions, proving that the bunch, especially the scumbag leader Bobby Maxwell (DeVeren Bookwalter), is a dangerous piece of work. Maxwell was so knife-happy, harming people mercilessly, that you would love to root against him and hope Callahan would bust him up really bad. In the middle of all the terrorist chaos, there are these random unrelated crimes foiled by Callahan, which showcases his strength and witty attitude as he deals with the city's worst of the worst. This let us see, once again, Callahan's unorthodox but pretty comical ways of dealing with these criminals and ridding the city of them. I thought, though, that despite the suspenseful plot element, the overall movie has fewer action and has less satisfying moments, ***spoiler ahead*** particularly how Callahan has to let the butt-kissing, politically connected Captain McKay throw the rulebook at him and how Callahan ultimately dealt with Maxwell - Callahan really needed to give him a taste of his own medicine after all the harm and damage he's done. ***spoiler ends*** The scenes with the clueless Mayor (John Crawford) and the dirty-mouth Mustapha (Albert Popwell) dragged the film. Clint Eastwood stayed true to his form as Callahan and had some good chemistry with Tyne Daly. But, overall, this is the least satisfying of all the Dirty Harry movies. Grade C
