The second movie on Dirty Harry's series is better than the first. Harry's character gets some evolution and we start to see a bit of the human being and his private life behind that gun. The directing is good, Eastwood makes a good performance and the plot and dialogues are slightly better than in the first. The soundtrack is also something to remark in this one.

A strong follow-up to <em>'Dirty Harry'</em>. I feel as positively about this as I do about that 1971 original. I don't think they set the world alight per se, but they are unquestionably entertaining and have a strong vibe about them. Clint Eastwood is terrific, while the support cast - though not on the aforementioned's level - are solid. Good story, well paced... I like it.

To break it down, Harry is cleaned up and taking on vigilantes...by acting like one himself. In all honesty, the Dirty Harry films are hit and miss, but this one seems to contradict itself the most and that doesn't sit well. It's better than The Dead Pool, but it doesn't really fit with Harry's personality.

A couple of years on from his “make my day, punk” warning, “Callaghan” (Clint Eastwood) is still policing San Francisco in his own ruthlessly inimitable fashion. He gets results, but usually to the chagrin of “Lt. Briggs” (Hal Holbrook) who has to clean up and and pay for the mess. His latest case is a bit of a quandary. People whom most folks would probably be glad to find dead are turning up murdered. Criminals, pi…
