BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
adonis98-743-186503 Dirty Harry must foil a terrorist organization made up of disgruntled Vietnam veterans. But this time, he's teamed with a rookie female partner that he's not too excited to be working with. Once again Clint Eastwood delivers an amazing and spectacular adventure as Dirty Harry in 'The Enforcer' a film that is just packed with action, shootings and just a hell lot of fun. Tyne Daly who played the rookie cop named Kate Moore also did a terrific job and she reminded me a bit of Olivia Williams from the 2014 Action, Thriller Sabotage. This is nowhere near as good as the 1st two installments but it's still a great film as well. (A+)
J Besser I loved it when I saw it in the theater when I was thirteen. It had action and a little bit of nudity. Everything anyone would want in a movie. However, now I think it stinks. Clint has made very few clunkers. His batting average is probably as good as the Duke himself, John Wayne. That said, "The Enforcer" is one a dud. It has a silly story and weak bad guys. It's like an R rated movies for kids.
Wuchak Released in 1976 and directed by James Fargo, "The Enforcer" stars Clint Eastwood in the eponymous role as a no-nonsense San Francisco detective, who teams-up with a novice female partner (Tyne Daly) to take down a terrorist organization made up of disgruntled Vietnam veterans.I'm a fan of all five of the Dirty Harry films, which are as follows: "Dirty Harry" (1971), "Magnum Force" (1973), "The Enforcer" (1976), "Sudden Impact" (1983) and "The Dead Pool" (1988)."Magnum Force" is my favorite, a rare case where the sequel is superior to the original. My second favorite is the nigh-surreal "Sudden Impact" while the first film is my least preferred, although I still like it. I just think the stories in the four sequels have more story drive. "Dirty Harry" seems languid and hollow by comparison, but it gets points for being the original film and establishing the series."The Enforcer" starts out with a bang on a couple of fronts with perfectly-sculptured Jocelyn Jones being a highlight, although her character is a bit of a biyatch. Unfortunately her role is rather small. The twist with this third installment is the addition of a female partner for Harry and their relationship nicely develops. You find yourself really caring for both, especially her. "The Enforcer" ups the ante with the violence and there's a cool, albeit contrived, final act on Alcatraz Island.THE FILM RUNS 96 minutes and was shot in the San Francisco Bay area. THE SCRIPT was written by Stirling Silliphant & Dean Riesner with the additions by a few others. ADDITIONAL CAST: Harry Guardino returns as Lt. Bressler while Bradford Dilford appears as the Chief and John Crawford as the mayor. DeVeren Bookwalter & Michael Cavanaugh play the lead psychos while Albert Popwell is on hand as the leader of a black gang that Harry (sort of) befriends.GRADE: B+
ivo-cobra8 The Enforcer (1976) the third entry of the Dirty Harry series is quite well good action movie. It is one of my personal favorite action movies. This one is my favorite action film with all Dirty Harry movies, It still good and an excellent movie. Clint Eastwood still plays terrific his character in the third ride in Dirty Harry series. This one is still the good one film of the Dirty Harry series. After a while they do get a little repetitive. I really didn't like how Harry was acting towards Kate Moore (Tyne Daly) I really didn't like that. Tyne Daly did a fine job acting as a cop in this movie. Five years later, she played in her own TV cop show Cagney & Lacey (1981), the show lasted for 7.years. The message is as clunky as a 44 magnum in a handbag. The film feels longer than the first two. The whole thing lacks the style of the original Dirty Harry.I like this film a lot there a are great moments and action in this movie. What I don't understand is the hate for this film. Why? I never understood why people say that The Enforcer is a fascist film. Why? Because Eastwood mows down a bunch of hippies? Newsflash, the Manson family was also a bunch of hippies. There were hippie terrorist groups bombing military bases in the 60s and early 70. For Christ sake, its like these idiots have no idea that the hippies were not all peace and love. I don't mind The Enforcer, but undeniably it is the weakest of the Dirty Harry films, however the whole theory of Harry being sexist is rather stupid, he was merely concerned about the lack of experience his partner has, it just so happens she is a woman and journalists and critics are just looking for anything to twist or complain about without thinking twice, it's just a bunch of crap. Tyne Daly did a great acting performance in this film and she did a great job as Kate Moore. I love her! I love that San Francisco Police Inspector Harry Callahan (Clint Eastwood) continues to carry as his sidearm his ".44 Magnum", the Smith & Wesson Model 29 with an 6 1/2" barrel. He comments in the film to his partner Insp. Kate Moore (Tyne Daly) that he particularly favors this gun due to penetration power, since he claims he's seen a .38 ricochet off a car windshield. He uses Rocket Launcher, the last showdown gun fights took place in Alcatraz, 3 years later, Clint Eastwood played in a movie Escape from Alcatraz (1979) that took place in the same prison. In this movie there are used even more automatic guns and hand guns. I love the actor DeVeren Bookwalter who played Bobby Maxwell an Vietnam Vet turned out the leader of the People's Revolutionary Strike Force (PRSF), who stole automatic weapons from warehouse, then killed Lt. Al "fatso" Bressler (Harry Guardino) from Dirty Harry. Than they kidnapped the mayor and they were extortion the city for ransom money. So now Inspector Harry Callahan and Kate Moore (Tyne Daly), have to spoil their plans and save the major.The Enforcer is a 1976 American action film and the third in the Dirty Harry film series. Directed by James Fargo, it stars Clint Eastwood as Inspector "Dirty" Harry Callahan, Tyne Daly as Inspector Kate Moore and DeVeren Bookwalter as terrorist leader/main antagonist Bobby Maxwell. The Enforcer is the third installment in the Dirty Harry film franchise. Clint Eastwood returns in the 1976 sequel, which finds Dirty Harry partnered with a rookie Inspector who happens to be a woman (Tyne Daly). The duo must stop an ultra-leftist terrorist organization that threatens to wreak havoc on the city. Of note is one of the earliest appearances in a film of the M72 LAW. They were all kind of weapons used in this flick, Clint Eastwood is using rocket launcher M72A1 LAW blowing up Maxwell (DeVeren Bookwalter) to pieces in the watch tower. The scene was fantastic! This movie is a 8, it doesn't deserve to be criticized tough it is weak film, but it is still good. I like this movie a lot, it is the last Dirty Harry movie made in the 70's. This movie 8 and deserves it, it I still a good action movie.
