...Bang! Well thats the plot dealt with. Want more info? Hmmm...well ok, let me try to think...Well we have a movie directed by and starring Clint Eastwood along with the woman in his life at the time Sandra Locke. Clint plays a washed up Phoenix cop who looks like he has been sleeping in the same clothes for about a month and who has a drink problem. He opens the door of his car and out pours a stream of bottles, cans etc. Of course, this means that ...
...witness across country to the courthouse in which she is to testify. This witness is Sandra Locke, a prostitute(why does clint always have his wives girlfriends etc. cast as hookers, or molested in some way...hmm) who has more intelligence in her handbag than our dumbass hero has in his whole body. Everyone is out to get them but dear old Clint's character can't see this...well not until the first preposterous action scene. Ths movie excells in presposterous ... Read review

Advantages: tense,exciting well acted cop thriller
Disadvantages: might be too violent for some viewers

Dirty harry[1971] is one of most successful cop films ever and also highly controvesial.When it was released it drew criticism for its violence.Directed briskly by Don siegel and set in San francisco,its a tense thriller which pitches cop "Dirty " Harry callahan against killer "Scorpio".Harry is called "Dirty" because he takes on the tough cases that all other cops stay clear of.He is a widower,has few real friends and works best alone.He is dedicated ...
...direction.The style was maintained for dirty harry but with a rougher harder edge.The film has a cat and mouse chase feel with harry racing against time to capture scorpio.Eastwood shows the edge and relentless pace that harry works at really well.The one liners that eastwood delivers have become part of movie legend.The "do you feel lucky well do ya punk" is a classic.He also shows harry more vulnerabe side how he does what he does to escape the ...

Advantages: Sanity offer a 28 day full refund
Disadvantages: Oh...everything

...fly after him in another Firefox and then they have a dogfight and then I don't really care any more.... Firefox is a turgid piece of crap. Totally without redeeming qualities. The story plods along steamrollering logic and development as it goes. Things just happen, and then something else happens, and it's all so very easy and without any tension. Every character is a 1 dimensional stereotype. Big bushy moustaches and lots of 'niets', or long ...
...special effects to show the Firefox aircraft tearing up the skies. But struggling with mattes and variable back projection, Dykstra's efforts are pretty poor. The Firefox is rendered as a smudgy, wobbly, black rectangle moving erratically over speeded up skyscapes. Eastwood provides no thrills with his Tesco value direction (it's not right, but it's okay) and the air sequences drag like a church service. Eastwood plays his role as Eastwood, all ... Read review

Advantages: Trots along at a good pace, pretty compelling
Disadvantages: Very violent at times, arguably condones vigilanteism

'Dirty' Harry Callahan, a San Francisco cop, has got himself into trouble with his bosses yet again, so they take the opportunity of an out of city case to get him out of the way for a while. A man has been found shot dead in his car and Harry needs to find out who does it, especially when it looks as if the killing is part of a series. Unfortunately, the local police chief isn't overwhelmed to see him. Then Harry becomes involved with Jennifer, ...
...ten years earlier. Jennifer is badly scarred; her sister even more so - she is practically catatonic and living in an institution. As the killings continue, Harry must work out if Jennifer has anything to do with them and, if she does, work out what he is going to do with her. This is the fourth of the Dirty Harry movies, yet is the only one that I have seen. Although very familiar with the term 'Dirty Harry', for some reason the films seemed to ... Read review

Advantages: great watch
Disadvantages: very dark

An absolutely great movie. This movie was awesome from the word go. It's got a very atmospheric feel and all the characters in the film are great. The film is made up of a few short stories kinda like pulp fiction. It's a very graphic and violent movie based on the underworld and its comic book picturisation creates a great atmosphere. Micky Rourke in my opinion give the best performance of his career, even though he was only in it for around 30 ... Read review
