Movie Reviews of Coogan's Bluff
Movie Review: Pre-Dirty Harry takes on New York
Summary: 4 Stars
Before Dirty Harry took the country by storm in 1971, Clint Eastwood played a similar character with the same director, Don Siegel, in 1968. Piute county deputy sheriff Walt Coogan out of Arizona is good at what he does, but in the process usually makes a lot of people angry. After one incident, Coogan is sent to New York City to bring back a prisoner, Jim Ringerman, for trial. Fed up with city police and their procedures, Coogan bluffs his way into getting his prisoner out, only to have him escape as they try to leave. With the NY police on his tail now for losing a prisoner, Coogan must do whatever he can to get him back. Siegel was and is known for his gritty movies with strong leads, and this one definitely fits that category. Stylized but gritty, it's an entertaining movie with two great action scenes, a fistfight in a pool hall and a motorcycle chase, both of which are helped by Eastwood doing many of his own stunts. A definite must-see for fans of Eastwood or the Dirty Harry series.
Almost like a tryout for Harry Callahan, Eastwood stars as Deputy Sheriff Walt Coogan, a no-nonsense country peace officer out of his element in NY. He might not know all the niceties of the job, but he'll get it done. Lee J. Cobb plays Lt. McElroy, the NY police officer who tangles with Coogan about his methods. Susan Clark plays Julie Roth, a probation officer Coogan meets and takes a keen interest in. Don Stroud, who would later play a rival of Eastwood's in Joe Kidd, is good in a small part as Jim Ringerman, a prisoner Coogan must bring back to Arizona for an unidentified crime. Tisha Sterling and James Edward also have memorable characters as Linny Raven, Ringerman's hopped up girlfriend, and Sgt. Wallace, a stakeout cop.
The DVD is a good price but don't expect much. The widescreen presentation of the movie looks good, but that's it on the disc. No special features, not even a trailer. It's a good movie though and one that Eastwood fans will surely enjoy. Check out Coogan's Bluff!
