Many people don't like the 5th installment in the Dirty Harry series. My question is: why? I personally found it enjoyable. Sure its not the first one, but its not as bad as The Enforcer.
There were a lot of good new scenes and twists. And there were a lot of good actors here. Clint Eastwood finishes up Dirty Harry just in time, before the series dragged on too long. Liam Neeson was excellent as Peter Swan, a lesser-known horror director. Patricia Clarkson was decent as Samantha Walker, a well-known reporter in San Francisco. Evan Kim was actually good as Al Quan, Harry's partner for the movie. Michael Currie returns as Donnelly (promoted to Captain it seems), and isn't all that bad. Michael GOodwin was annoying as Lt. Ackerman, but since he's the superior I guess he did his part. Anthony Charnota was decent as Lou Janero, a mob guy who has a beef with Harry. And Jim Carrey was excellent in his small role of Johnny Squares, a metal rockstar who has a drug problem.
Not a bad finish to a great series.
7/10.
