“If she wants to play lumberjack, she’s going to have to get used to handling her end of the log!”. Sadly, that’s about as pithy as his one-liners get in this rather flat outing for “Callaghan” (Clint Eastwood). This time he is saddled with rookie “Moore” (Tyne Daly) and put on a case to track down some brutal mercenaries from a people’s revolutionary strike force who robbed an arms factory and then have only gone and kidnapped they mayor. No great loss, you might think, but the city’s problem is made worse because their most inept Captain “McKay” (Bradford Dillman) has already suspended the only man who can do what’s needed - for insubordination. Of course, with the city facing a $5 millions ransom demand, our intrepid inspector and his partner are determined to sort things out with his Magnum, a confessional booth and even a ship’s water cannon. It’s all entirely predicable and to be honest, Eastwood has lost a little of the glint in his eye as the film progresses, except perhaps when confronted with an whorehouse that peddles inflatable dummies at $75 a pop whilst the senior citizens run a direct-mail service that would make Larry Flynt blush.

Read the whole review on TMDBHere's a seven-point suppository! The Enforcer is directed by James Fargo and collectively written by Harry Julian Fink, Rita M.

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 fi
Read the whole review on TMDBNot as enjoyable as the first two, but <em>'The Enforcer'</em> still entertains. Clint Eastwood is again excellent in reprising the role of Harry Callahan, while the support cast is spearheaded by the likes of Tyne Daly and Harry Guardino. I don't really have much to say that's different from the 1971 and 1973 films, in that it's a fun flick that is paced well; even if, again, it is a drop from its two predecessors.
