Dirty Harry

Six shots or only five?

An original no nonsense tough cop role. The sort of person that wants the results and if a few rules or bones get broken so be it. Someone that is prepared to go where the evidence leads, even if the evidence was obtained questionably.



The plot is complicated, and we know who the bad guy is very early on. In essence we have a killer that is on the loose in San Francisco and the case is assigned to Harry Callahan (Dirty Harry). He will bring in the killer just don't look too closely at the rights of the criminal that he has violated in order to do so.

The movie has a lot of lines that have been quoted and are almost part of the standard English language. Some of these quotes are ones such as "Go ahead, make my day.", or "Do ya fell lucky? Punk?"

There is a lot of violence in this movie, and for the time it was released it was somewhat confronting. This helped to make it a commercial success, with a lot of elements being copied in other movies.
