for me the sequel to dirty harry never come close top the original and but i thoroughly enjoy and think highly of them anyway . well maybe with the exception of the dead pool . each one seem to add it own distinguishable touch to the typical formula . the third film ( and probably the cheap and a it look like it ) of the series the enforcer seem to have that swinging and carefree vibe of the time and with the biting reality and stark realisation ( heavily implement in the first two ) take a backseat for forceful ( if crass ) humour . however the violence be still gritty and mean and explosive and openly display . director james fargo ( force vengeance and every which way but loose and caravan and a game for vulture ) have appear in some of eastwood early film a assistant director and and here he pace it well enough and let the foundation play out more like an expansive low key action fling fill with the constant buddy routine ( a harry be pair up with a young green horn female detective fidgety play by tyne daly . who do bring an authentic and potent side to her role ) that be credibly developed and long wind build ups finish off with brute force and the quick witted response . harry also have get a catch phrase just amarvellous . eastwood laconically pull it off with dominant ease and certain authority of truly delve into this character ( a now there more to that monomaniacal search for one own justice ) and a his hand out punishment ( against a bunch of terrorist who call themselves the people revolutionary ) and have time to let fly what he really think . cop the cynical barb be amuse support performance by harry guardino and john crawford and bradford dillman . the bad guy here aren not overly memorable and but the deveren bookwalter bestow a steely glance and have a quietly dangerous psychotic air to him . show up again and but in another different character be the wonderful albert popwell . i never tire of the san francisco location ( where most of the film be shoot ) and and the camera superbly detail the on screen action and striking background feature . what i like about the end of these early dirty harry film and be how they weren not afraid to end on such an powerful note involve something represent visually to express the mindset and a the camera slowly zoom out and the harrowing score cue in . on the point about the music . i would say i be a little put off by the racy and bouncy jazz score arrangement of composer jerry fielding ( who by the way have do some magnificent score for film of sam peckinpah and michael winner and clint eastwood ) just do not have the stinging and sombre and self reflect quality of lalo schifrin effort . that not to say it be bad or felt out of place and because it do not with the feel that this one opt for . but a darker or more subtle take could have do it wonder since fielding have chalk up some jarringly bold piece in other film . the script have some political context ( home grow terrorism and political correctness and equal gender opportunity ) and but always stay true to the story than try to undermine or overdo it . while it should be predictable and it do keep one step ahead and offer a surprise or two . an up to par sequel .
