This is Clint at his best. They really should have named the film “Dirty Harry: The Retirement Years”. The movie is brilliantly written and plays out like a mix of the movies “Colors” and “As Good as it Gets” (what an unlikely combo). Along with the great screenplay comes great acting. The only ding I would give the film is Clint’s directing. Although strong, had another director got a hold of it I think it could have been flawless. You can tell that Clint has some weaknesses with regards to cinematography and editing.
I would recommend this movie for just about anyone. It has a perfect blend of good storytelling, shock value and a hint of bitter sweetness.
Rating: 8.5 out of 10
