Fish out of water
By Manthing from London, England , 19 Jul 2004[Highly rated reviewer]
Before Dirty Harry there was Coogan's Bluff. This is more fun than Dirty Harry with Clint as the Arizona Sheriff sent to the Big Apple to collect a prisoner.
Coogan doesn't do things by the book but still gets the job done.
Clint does dirty/nasty things very early in his career that could have gone badly wrong. Can you see 'clean-cut' Gary Cooper or John Wayne playing outside the rules?
A nice film but not as exciting as Dirty Harry.- Was this review helpful to you?

(14)Smoldering Eastwood
By mclscarer (7 reviews) from Kent , 05 Oct 2011Coogan's Bluff Eastwood is Back Smoldering. Although Dated Eastwood Turns out another good Performance is is well worth watching. However the quality is not great due to its age could really do with being remastered. But still a good watch.- Was this review helpful to you?

Coogan's Bluff (1968)
By a customer from London, England , 03 Nov 2008I enjoy watching Clint do his 'moody cop' routine but this film was bad. The film I watched was dated, shallow and unimaginative.
Additionally, I found the portrayal of women in this film offensive, and I'm no radical feminist so this isn't a feeling I get very often. A few scenes made my skin crawl.- Was this review helpful to you?

Watch Dirty Harry instead
By Squinty (23 reviews) from Lincolnshire , 07 Apr 2008Coogan's Bluff is for the most part very dull film where little happens. Where it not for a good fight sequence later on a poolroom, I probably would have given this 0 stars. For some reason it lacks something Dirty Harry had, and character development and plot seems disjointed and basic.
Clint Eastwood can play some likable anti-heroes, but Coogan is unlikable and you wish he learned to do more than beat people up (which the audience shouldn't be thinking in an action film). Also the film's portrayal of female characters in places can be questionable, but frankly every single character regardless of their gender is too one-dimensional to continue that argument. (Although the treatment of the Native American criminal, despite his crimes, at the beginning is eyebrow raising).
There are far better films with Eastwood in, such as the Spaghetti Westerns and the aforementioned Dirty Harry. Avoid this.- Was this review helpful to you?
