Let’s settle this: Death Wish or Dirty Harry

Death Wish has a nice score by Herbie Hancock. It chronicles a sad tragedy to a cathartic resolution gradually and respectfully.

Its a rich meditation on societal decay. The scenes in Texas explore this in detail. Aimes is a charming character, probably the most sympathetic in the film.

The film also works as an interesting police procedural. The scenes where Ochoa briefs his team or when he confronts the media or excellent IMO.

I could go on. I can see where you’re coming from, some scenes can seem laborious but I’ve come to appreciate every second of Death Wish. Dirty Harry is a fine film, and head to head it’s a tie for me. There’s not much separating them AFAIC.
