Dirty Harry is the ultimate guy flick but as a woman in her mid-twenties -I have to say this movie rocks! Clint Eastwood is awesome in this crime drama, the dude who plays the killer is one horrific actor but otherwise than that Dirty Harry is pure fun. Buy it now!

Clint Eastwood's GREATEST Action film! - Rating: 5/5
"Dirty Harry" is Clint Eastwood's GREATEST non-western film and is an ESSENTIAL entry in his INCREDIBLE and AMAZING career. As all movie fans should already know, EVERYTHING Don Siegel directed is AWESOME.
Siegel directed the all-time CLASSIC "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" and even my favorite Elvis film "Flaming Star". Not to mention another Eastwood CLASSIC "Escape from Alcatraz". Plus he directed one of John Wayne's BEST movies "The Shootist".
"Dirty Harry" is also the #1 "Cop film" of all-time as well. If you choose to buy the Dirty Harry Collection box set as I did it's well worth it because every film has at least one new documentary on it! Plus, they even give you Harry Callahan's police badge! HOW COOL IS THAT!

Iconic but overrated - Rating: 2/5
I recently bought this DVD along with "Bullit" because I wanted to see if my recollections of these two very popular films were accurate. In the case of "Bullit", yes. This movie is actually better than I recall back when I was 17 in 1969. McQueen should have won an Oscar for that performance. "Dirty Harry" is inferior in every way: script, direction, sound, and acting. I had trouble staying with "Dirty Harry" what with all the 70s clichés that kept popping up to spoil it. But "Bullit" was fascinating from start to finish. Like James Dean, you have a hard time keeping your eyes off Steve McQueen, whether he is speaking or reacting. "Dirty Harry" is a very mediocre film that looks more like something made for TV, and it has not aged well. "Bullit" is the real deal and deserves the moniker of "iconic". Like a superb wine, it just keeps getting better.
