Harry is getting older and this movie is just a good combination of most of the (bad) 80's ingredients.

We now have the typical asian Kung Fu fighter as Harry's partner and a horrible synthesizer sound track.

Good thing about this forgettable movie, however, is the cast. We get to see Liam Neeson, Patricia Clarkson and Jim "James" Carrey in one of their first movies.

Maybe, to save, the chase scene with the remote controlled toy car.

I don't care what other people think of the film--I love the Dirty Harry movies...ALL of them. Yes, it would have been much better if Eastwood himself had directed it, but the supporting cast is great.

'The Dead Pool', whilst being the weakest of the 'Dirty Harry' films and feeling a little out of place, is still good fun in my opinion. Clint Eastwood is supreme once more and is joined by some standout names in Liam Neeson and, to my big surprise, a certain yet to be famous Canadian-born actor!

This one features a very silly plot but it does make for mindless entertainment. I had a solid time wit...

"The Dead Pool" fails to achieve the same high profile level of success and popularity as "Sudden Impact" (1983) and it isn't particularly difficult to understand why. "Sudden Impact" is notoriously violent with an almost ceaseless barrage of senseless shootings and beatings, but more importantly than this it still has a sense of enthusiasm and you do have the distinct feeling the cast really wants to participate, although that doesn't appear to be the ...

Someone clearly made a conscious decision to lighten the mood with this “Dirty Harry” (1971) sequel by introducing a bit more pith into the dialogue and a few lightly comedic elements to the scenarios but for me that just turned something a little bit special into something a little bit ordinary. “Callaghan” (Clint Eastwood) is causing ructions at the station because he won’t play ball with the media. Determined to keep him from himself, his captain allocates him a Chinese-American partner “A...
