clint eastwood return to his most famous non western role of inspector harry callaghan in the third of the san francisco base crime thriller . this time he be up against a group of terrorist who have rob a military warehouse and be threaten use their newly acquire arsenal if the city doesn not give them two million dollar . of course this be a dirty harry film we see him deal with a shop full of armed thief in a way that leave the shop in ruin and harry transfer to personnel and a department he do not hold in high regard . luckily this transfer doesn not last too long and after the arm robbery he be back in homicide with a new partner and the recently promote inspector kate moore and play by tyne daly before she find fame in cagney and lacey . at first harry isn not too pleased with have to break in a new partner but inevitably grow to value her contribution . the terrorist unfortunately seem a little too insane and they claim to be do it for the people but happily kill anybody who cross their path . at least the chief bad guy get a spectacular end which i would not spoil here . almost as important a the case against the terrorist be the city politics where the mayor and chief of police wish to talk up harry and kate role just to further their equal opportunity policy even though they have no role in the arrest they be get the credit for . despite the film have some weakness i would still recommend it to anybody who enjoy the other dirty harry film or just like cop film in general .
