Amazon.com: Trapped by his image in 1976, Clint Eastwood resurrected his Dirty Harry character for a third go-round (out of a total of five) in this potboiler story in which the San Francisco detective takes on a group of revolutionary kids. Tyne Daly costars as a female cop who partners with the reluctant Harry Callahan, and she does very well by a role created merely to underscore and articulate the hero's various virtues. It's a dull package all around, but inside the wrapping are good performances by the two leads. --Tom Keogh

Average Rating:
Rating: - "If you want to play lumberjack you've got to learn to hold up your end of the log."
The third Dirty Harry, this time with Eastwood taking on a gang of crooks posing as terrorists who kidnap the mayor of San Francisco (John Crawford) for ransom. Tyne Daley as Callahan's partner and Bradford Dillman as Eastwood's superior.
Mckay: What meeting?
Harry: The meeting in this office three months ago when you said a high priority was to run these hoods out of San Francisco.
McKay: I never said to use violence.
Harry: What did you want me to do, yell Trick or Treat at them?
Eastwood's buddy the late Albert Popwell appears for the third time, this time as revoluntionary Big Ed Mustafa. Last appearence for John Mitchum as Frank D'igeorgio and a really pyscho performance by Devereen Bookwalter as Bobbie Maxwell, the ring leader. Grand finale is a battle on Alcatraz.
Rating: - The Enforcer
A great buy for DVD format. Loaded with plenty of background on filming, story, and cast/crew. A top-notch production for a great movie series.
Rating: - The Best of the Dirty Harry Series!
It has all the other things you expect from Harry Calahan and more humor too (that sequence with the mayors assistant and Harry and Tyne was very very funny!)
Rating: - Cleaner Still
Third Dirty Harry picture feels more dated than the previous two with its portrait of crazed radicals as the bad guys none of whom register as believable or menacing villains. The picture feels more like a violent TV episode from the era. Like in Magnum Force, Harry is made into more of a conventional cop hero than the extreme personality from the first (and far and away best) film. The whole show here is his relationship with Tyne Daly as his partner. These scenes are the best in the movie and both actors deliver.
