  Straightforward Harry Callaghan - you just know he's going to get his man! Quite a few twists in this one, but still full of the old cliches. If you like ... read more »

  Big Clint Fan!
  
  I think that Dirty Harry was one of the greatest characters created in movie history. This is a great sequel that doesn't let the original down.

  A Great Clint Eastwood classic, when he was at his best with all the Dirty Harry films being made.

  Clint hits the mark again
  
  In my opinion this is the best of the Dirty Harry series. Well acted and a good storyline. But just about any film with Clint in will do for me.

- Toned-down sequel to Dirty Harry; the violence is still there but the hero no longer commits it.
