Dirty Harry
"You've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya, punk?" - Harry Callahan
In a signature role, Clint Eastwood plays a streetwise San Francisco police detective who gets the job done. A rooftop sniper (Andy Robinson) named Scorpio has killed twice. Harry Callahan will nail the perp... one way or the other... no matter what "the system" prescribes. Filming on location, director Don Siegel made the City by the Bay a vital part of one of the best police thrillers ever made.

Dirty Harry - Lynndar
Mr Eastwood is probably my favourite actor of all time and it was a thrill to watch this movie that I enjoyed so many years ago, again. He has always brought his own special brand of understatement to his acting and this performance was a good example of it. I enjoyed seeing it remastered as well.A Masterpiece - Sports
A total masterpiece from start to finish, mainly down to the iconic performance of Clint Eastwood. "Dirty Harry" would not be anywhere near as good without the star turn from the young actor. He holds the screen in every scene and makes the character both compelling and likable. The breakout movie for a screen legend and one that made him one of the most bankable starts in America enabling him to go and become the actor legend but also one of the worlds finest directors.Dirty Harry is Excellent - NoTelling
As a 22 year old, this is my first time watching Dirty Harry and it is an absolutely amazing movie. Set in 1970s San Francisco, this film does an excellent job of asking questions about the thin line between individual rights and the pursuit of justice. Dirty Harry is all about the justice - he wants nothing more than to see the bad guys pay for their crimes. On the other hand, this gets him into a lot of trouble with his superiors who are constantly disliking his unconventional tactics.
The action in it is brisk and exciting. There's not one dull moment in the entire movie and everything seems to be progressing to the final climactic fight.
Superb film - truly one of my all time favorites!
