It`s nice to see some of these old 70s classics getting an airing on DVD. Dirty Harry is the first in a series of films featuring the eponymous hero, a cop who takes on roles of judge, jury and executioner with any scumbag who is stupid enough to go ahead and make his day. Tracking down the psychopathic Scorpio, Harry doesn`t let little things like police procedures get in his way: his determination to pursue his own notion of justice regardless made him a kind of folk hero - a disturbingly fascistic kind of hero, but then this is America we are talking about. Eastwood is superb as Harry Callahan, still carrying with him something of his Man with No Name persona from the great Sergio Leone westerns. Don Siegel directs with panache, and we get a nice 5.1 remix here. Picture is as good as you could expect given the film`s age. All we need now is a version with a commentary or some kind of documentary about this pivotal film.
