Speaking of Eastwood: yesterday, for the first time in a few years, I watched Dirty Harry again. Without question, it's one of the best police action thrillers ever, if not the best. To this day, it remains controversial for its still-graphic violence and perceived reactionary messages. As for me? I loved every single minute of it. Harry Callahan has been my favorite Eastwood character since I've first saw it on VHS when I was younger. Yes, I was a spoiled-rotten kid exposed to things he really shouldn't have seen. But I digress. Eastwood's performance is iconic, and Andy Robinson is perfect as the boyish psycho-killer that, in the end, you would love to see blown away. Don Siegel's direction is forceful and pulls no punches, with great cinematography, editing, and a snazzy Lalo Schifrin score to boot. Four out of four.
