Probably my favourite after the original. This entry provides quite a lot of memorable exchanges, dialogues and imagery. The entire restaurant sequence is the epitome of Dirty Harry. I actually like the build up of it more than I do the infamous one-liner that's spouted.
Love the moment when he emphasises - “a lot sugar”.
It’s definitely darker, character-driven and emotionally charged... almost noir-like but still delivering the hard edged characteristics found in previous Dirty Harry films. Like that striking moment when Harry appears in silhouette on the fishing docks with his .44 automag handgun by his side. The only one in the series to move the action away from San Francisco and Lalo Schifin (who was missed in “The Enforcer”) returning with another striking score. The chemistry of the cast just clicks. Probably up there with “The Outlaw of Josey Wales” and “The Gauntlet” as Locke’s best work with Eastwood. Interesting to see a real change of heart in Eastwood's law abiding portrayal of Harry when it came to the end too.
