I have seen bits and pieces of this over the years but never the whole thing. It was interesting to see this film after having seen Gran Turino. It was everything that I expected it to be - a tough-guy cop that takes on the world of crime. While it was the film that really spawned that genre I still think that it is better than the vast, vast majority of the movies that came after it.

The directing is remarkable but, the most interesting side of this film is the character created by Eastwood, a policeman who decides to take the law by his hand disregarding any kind of right or procedure.

Quite like his characters in the far west ... but in nowadays U.S.

The story itself is, More

Recently I've considered drastically negatively re-appraising Clint Eastwood's work, both directorially and as a thespian, as a knee-jerk reaction to his constant defense of the more racially-bigoted face of conservative America, but because of what his work has meant to me as a cinephile over the y More

_"My, that's a big one."_

I'm not sure if I was expecting more or what, this film was _alright_. Maybe the slow-yet-fast/consistent pacing and filmmaking had to do with that, not in the sense of that being a bad thing: but rather in the sense that, what was happening, didn't necessarily make up f More
