    Probably the worst of all the Dirty Harry movies. The only interesting and innovative point in this one is that we have a woman as Harry's partner. Eastwood keeps nailing his role but that's about it. A foreseeable plot with quite a mediocre development. Probably, the best in this one is the music.

    “If she wants to play lumberjack, she’s going to have to get used to handling her end of the log!”. Sadly, that’s about as pithy as his one-liners get in this rather flat outing for “Callaghan” (Clint Eastwood). This time he is saddled with rookie “Moore” (Tyne Daly) and put on a case to track down some brutal mercenaries from a people’s revolutionary strike force who robbed an arms factory and then have only gone an…
