After 1983's "Sudden Impact" my favorite of the 5 films with Clint directing I guess Warner Brothers just wanted a film to make money no matter what. My least favorite of the films. Clint no problem, in normal, fine form as Harry. Another shoot out in a restaurant robbery, I think they got that idea from what 1983 film? Poor script decision, stealing an idea from the previous film. The shortest of the 5 films as well. Good to see Liam in 1 of his first roles. Now, my ABSOLUTE favorite part of this film. Seeing Carrey (Mr. Make A Face) in 1 of his 1st film roles & his character becoming the first victim of "The Dead Pool". Welcome to the Jungle 1 of the 2 Guns N Roses songs I like used twice in the film. After Clint directed "Sudden Impact" you could tell this was just a slam together to make money since the quality was not there, the style. The scenes with Harry & latest partner Al working out & running. Why? Did NOT cut it. The prison bit with Harry confronting the gangster out to get him with the threat the fellow HUGE convict will hurt him if he does not stop. Enjoyed that bit. Good to see some extras on the DVD. BUT, for a Deluxe Edition, no chapter search list. As stated, the least favorite of the 5 films. Just does not stand up to the original or #4.Read full review
The fifth and last of the Dirty Harry movies-and one of the best that was made in the series, the plot opens on a macabre sports pool that places bets on which celebrity is going to die next and crossing names off a hit list as each of them meets their demise. A serial killer who preys on famous figures enters the scene, and suddenly the odds are dramatically changed. When rogue cop, 'Dirty Harry' Callahan (Clint Eastwood) and high profile TV reporter Samantha Walker (Patricia Clarkson) suddenly find their names on the list, the game moves too close for Harry's comfort and he sets out to 'make my day' the Dirty Harry way-by finding and killing the serial killer. The Director here is Buddy Van Horn-and this is his only Dirty Harry movie-however he did team up with Eastwood in the making of PINK CADILAC in which Eastwood starred. He also directed all the 1983 segments of MAGNUM P.I. (season 4) episodes. A very good movie that will entertain devotees of action or adventure movies, and in this Dirty Harry movie- their is a great deal of suspense added-unlike the other Harry movies where the killers are all known. Great for a nights entertainment most people will enjoy.Read full review
This Dead Pool is so much better than the lame movies of the same name that have arisen of late. Mr. Eastwood knows how to keep the fans happy, in this the final installment of the Dirty Harry saga. Harpoon guns sure keep my attention focused. Trite but true: they do not make movies like this (this good) today. Good value.
