Movie Reviews of Magnum Force (Deluxe Edition)
Movie Review: Great sequel
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm pretty surprised at the bad reviews for this movie. I thought this was a great sequel, granted the first movie is pretty hard to live up to but I thought this was a great effort.
First of all the story -line is great: Renegade cops killing thugs makes great drama. Harry's not up against crooks but fellow cops! Second this film really gets gritty I mean at the end Harry's takin these guys out with his bare hands and his car and the final seen is classic!! Watch it.
Summary of Magnum Force (Deluxe Edition)
Magnum Force, which was released in 1973 as a sequel to Dirty Harry has Eastwood reprise his famous role as Inspector Callahan, which has him face crooked cops and a traitorous boss as well as suffering re- assignment from homicide to stakeout duty after his handling of the Scorpio case. Callahan and his new partner, Earlington -Early- Smith (Felton Perry), are called off a case in which a man acquitted of murder is found dead along with his chauffer, lawyer and bodyguard. Soon after, a mafia figure, and several of his family and friends are also gunned down. Then, a well-known pimp is murdered too. Callahan and Early are soon re-assigned to investigate the homicides. Featuring: New Commentary by writer John Milius-In this gritty, entertaining commentary, legendary Hollywood screenwriter Milius discusses Eastwood, the world of Dirty Harry and the rugged resilience of crime drama in American cinema; New Featurette "A Moral Right: The Politics of Dirty Harry" -- Filmmakers, social scientists and authors take a provocative look at the moral, political and ethical themes of the Dirty Harry films; The Hero Cop: Yesterday and Today; Trailer GalleryThis first sequel to Dirty Harry was written by a couple of strong voices, writer-directors Michael Cimino (The Deer Hunter) and John Milius (Farewell to the King). But that doesn't mean the film is particularly good. After Don Siegel's ferociously dark style in the first movie, Ted Post's blocky, television-ish direction in Magnum Force is a huge letdown. The story doesn't win any prizes, either. Eastwood's San Francisco detective Harry Callahan (apparently having retrieved his badge after throwing it away at the end of Dirty Harry) takes on a vigilante squad within the city's police force. David Soul is pretty convincing as the major spokesman for these right-wing avengers. Eastwood, on the other hand, had already turned Callahan from fascinating outsider in Siegel's film to purveyor of tough-guy shtick in this one. --Tom Keogh
