    An all-guns-blazing follow-up to Dirty Harry, with a storyline different enough from the original to grip the attention. Clint Eastwood is on fine form as no-nonsense cop “Dirty” Harry Callahan, yet again relying on his own instincts as he investigates the ruthless killings of prominent criminals in San Francisco. There's excellent support, too, including a pre-Starsky and Hutch David Soul, and the chase scene involving motorbikes during the climax is superbly staged. However, it lacks much of the original's moral complexity, with more action favoured.
