Another pointless, inferior sequel to Dirty Harry that's totally lacking in subtlety. Tyne Daly adds a slightly different spin as his female sidekick, but it's all purely by the numbers.

Again, very much like the first two films. Giving Harry a female partner was a fun idea.

Not terrible, but not very good. Eastwood and the other actors were good, but the plot was poorly envisioned. The political and social themes way too heavy handed, the main story too improbable and the "tension" between the police chief and Callahan staid. Add in the ridiculous ending and it's just too much. I did LOVE the "suppository" joke though, best line of the series so far.

The Enforcer is definitely not as good as the original Dirty Harry (can't compare it to the second one, haven't seen it yet). The first movie had a simple premise. Simple and yet, genius. One bad guy, One cop. But in this movie, people die and the audience is left wondering, why. Characters you've never seen before are killed and you're wondering if they're important. Harry's back on the police force in this movie, which angers me. The ending to Dirty Harry where he throws away his badge was perfect. Also we barely get to see any action from Harry. There's only about 2 scenes where he's fighting someone. Overall, it wasn't bad, but it wasn't great. I expected more from Clint.

Dirty Harry, a 357-Magnum, and Tyne Daly walk into a bar. Stop me if you've heard this one before! Anyway, Dirty Harry says, "You can go (censored) and (censored) until the (censored) out (censored)and you feel (censored) (censored)ing the (censored)" and it's seriously hilarious!

The enforcer once again fails to have a compelling story, or anything thrilling in it whatsoever. I felt the villains this time seem far too stupid to seem threatening to Harry himself. Harry also lacks much of an emotional drive as he did in the first one, and nothing seems serious enough. His partner this time is more interesting that last time and the dynamic was pretty good but that was not enough to save it.
