Review: Dirty Harry


     “I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?” This is one of the most memorable, and arguably the most bad-ass quotes in the history of cinema. Over 40 years since uttering these words, Clint Eastwood remains as one of Hollywood's greatest tough guys. Dirty Harry benefits greatly from Eastwood's trademark demeanor, creating one of the most classic cop characters of all time. It is unfortunate that an otherwise fantastic film gets bogged down by questionable political message.
