Here’s a seven-point suppository!

The Enforcer is directed by James Fargo and collectively written by Harry Julian Fink, Rita M. Fink, Stirling Silliphant, Dean Riesner, Gail Morgan Hickman and S.W. Schurr. It stars Clint Eastwood, Tyne Daly, Harry Guardino, Bradford Dillman, DeVeren Bookwalter and John Mitchum. Music is by Jerry Fielding and cinematography by Charles W. Short.

Dirty Harry Callahan is tasked with foiling a terrorist organization made up of supposed revolutionaries. However, when he’s partnered by a rookie female cop he’s far from best pleased and feels sure she’s out of her depth.

This is the third entry of what would eventually become five Clint Eastwood starring Dirty Harry films. Sensing the need to inject a bit of freshness to what was obviously going to be a safe “no nonsense cop” formula, the makers introduce a nifty complexity to Callahan’s world by pairing him up with a female cop – one that’s fresh out of school. So with Callahan’s propensity for being irked about partners in general, and his suspected misogyny dangled by his superiors, this is a forward thinking turn of events by the writers.

From a narrative stand point director Fargo (for his feature film debut) doesn’t deviate from what made the previous two films a success. Pacing is steady so that this allows dramatic character interplays to breathe, and forceful action sequences bounce into the fray at various junctures. This is not however detrimental to the story, which zips along and is punctured by customary Dirty Harry humour. The relationship between Harry and Kate (passable but not quite a great casting choice) builds through various stages, from begrudging mentor and pupil beginnings, to something that actually ends up rather touching.

Sadly this “Dirty Harry” film lacks great villainy, the People’s Revolutionary Strike Force come off as a mixed bunch of psychos and confused hippies, with not enough screen time for their leader (Bookwalter) to impact greatly on proceedings. Be that as it may, there’s enough for Callahan to chew on, with the gruff straight talking cop surrounded by the usual moronic bureaucrats and handy allies (the always great Albert Popwell in a customary appearance). Where it stands with fans of the Dirty Harry series as a whole is unclear? for The Enforcer appears to now be fondly remembered more the decades have passed. But it certainly is no dead loss and a strong 7/10 rating I feel is fully justified.

Probably the worst of all the Dirty Harry movies.

The only interesting and innovative point in this one is that we have a woman as Harry’s partner. Eastwood keeps nailing his role but that’s about it.

A foreseeable plot with quite a mediocre development.

Probably, the best in this one is the music.

What can Dirty Harry not take on?
For me the sequels to “Dirty Harry” never came close topping the original, but I thoroughly enjoyed and think highly of them anyway… well maybe with the exception of “The Dead Pool”. Each one seemed to add its own distinguishable touch to the typical formula. The third film (and probably the cheapest, as it looks like it) of the series ‘The Enforcer’ seemed to have that swinging and carefree vibe of the times, with the biting reality and stark realisations (heavily implemented in the first two) taking a backseat for forceful (if crass) humour. However the violence is still gritty, mean, explosive and openly displayed. Director James Fargo (‘Forced Vengeance’, ‘Every Which Way But Loose’, ‘Caravans’ and ‘A Game for Vultures’) has appeared in some of Eastwood’s early films as assistant director, and here he paces it well-enough and let’s the foundation play out more like an expansive low-key action fling filled with the constant buddy routines (as Harry is paired up with a young green-horn female detective fidgety played by Tyne Daly. Who does bring an authentic and potent side to her role) that are credibly developed, long-winded build-ups finishing off with brute force and the quick-witted response. Harry also has got a catch-phrase… just ‘marvellous’.

Eastwood laconically pulls it off with dominant ease and certain authority of truly delving into this character (as now there’s more to that monomaniacal search for one’s own justice), as his hands out punishment (against a bunch of terrorists who call themselves ‘The People’s Revolutionary’) and has time to let fly what he really thinks. Copping the cynical barbs are amusing support performances by Harry Guardino, John Crawford and Bradford Dillman. The bad guys here aren’t overly memorable, but the DeVeren Bookwalter bestows a steely glance and has a quietly dangerous psychotic air to him. Showing up again, but in another different character is the wonderful Albert Popwell.

I never tire of the San Francisco locations (where most of the films are shot), and the camera superbly details the on-screen action and striking background features. What I like about the ending of these earlier ‘Dirty Harry’ films, was how they weren’t afraid to end on such an powerful note involving something represented visually to express the mindset, as the camera slowly zooms out and the harrowing score cues in. On the point about the music. I would say I was a little put off by the racy and bouncy jazz score arrangement of composer Jerry Fielding (who by-the-way has done some magnificent scores for films of Sam Peckinpah, Michael Winner and Clint Eastwood) just didn’t have the stinging, sombre and self-reflecting quality of Lalo Schifrin’s efforts. That’s not to say it was bad or felt out of place, because it didn’t with the feel that this one opted for. But a darker or more subtle take could’ve done it wonders since Fielding has chalked up some jarringly bold pieces in other films.

The script has some political context (home-grown terrorism, political correctness and equal-gender opportunity), but always stays true to the story than trying to undermine or overdo it. While it should be predictable, it does keep one step ahead and offers a surprise or two.

An up-to-par sequel.

Someones got to do it – Marvelous
Dirty Harry Callahan … every movie a new partner. This time around it’s a woman. Now before you claim Harry is going to be sexist: he generally dismissed and hates the idea of having a rookie with him. If you think this has anything to do with gender you are mistaken. And it also means it’s very likely you haven’t seen the other movies before this one. You should watch them. Not for continuity reasons (Albert Popwell is making his third appearance here and seems to play a different character everytime), but to get the character picture.

Humor is not always an easy thing to achieve succesfully and Dirty Harry mostly was dry when he delivered his. This ups the humor quote a little bit, which I think works nicely too. Clint really has his grip on the role and knows to deliver. We get a new bunch of bad guys here, who should know better than to mess with Callahan. But if they did, we wouldn’t get this movie, so we should be thankful to them … all kidding aside, this gives us a new layer but furthermore a new Dirty Harry movie (if not in name) to cheer on. He may not be the cop that cares about rules, but he does promote justice. Especially to those who deserve it
