I found this to be long and drawn out as far as the Dirty Harry movies go. I found it to be too graphic, and too violent for my taste. I actually found myself falling asleep watching this movie, and when I woke up it was still on. I wouldn't even recommend this to anyone who was desparate for a movie. Curl up with a good book instead. I know the one thing I couldn't stand was the fat hag who encourgaed the rape in the first place. The movie is standard "Dirty Harry" faire, but it was just too long, and violent.

One man parks a van outside a country cabin. A stranger appears to kill them both! He has emotional problems. There is a comic event in a restaurant. Then an "all unit" alarm for a liquor store robbery with hostages. [Believable?] Will they get a car? Yes, and Harry too. There is a big bill for damages! Harry is transferred to Personnel. [Was there an aptitude test?] the Mayor has new policies to implement. One candidate comes from Personnel and Resources. [Experience?] She knows the law! Some villains are planning a burglary to win arms and ammunition. ["Radicals" have replaced organized crime as the villains du jour.] These criminals leave one of their crew behind.

"It's a war, isn't it?" Frank has a clue for Harry. There is a tape from the Revolutionaries. Harry is back on `Homicide' again, with a new partner. There is a demonstration of a Lawes rocket. [Product placement?] Why does Harry lose his partners? They witness an autopsy. "Welcome to Homicide." They chase a suspect down empty streets, then to the rooftops to create action. [Was a double used?] Does the use of a church show a hidden agenda? Will Harry get info on Bobby Maxwell? There is a police raid, Captain McKay makes a suggestion. Can you believe official news? Harry doesn't play the political game, and suffers for it. [Was the Mayor of San Francisco as big a boob as shown here?]

Is there a plan to attack the Mayor? A tape is left in a phone booth. Captain McKay seeks Harry's help, Harry seeks help from Mustafa. Harry looks for Wanda and gets a lead. [Is there a political agenda in using that church?] Harry and Kate visit Alcatraz for a shoot-out. [No back-up?] Kate rescues the Mayor, but suffers in the line of duty. Harry launches a rocket at the tower. Will he get a letter of recommendation? A helicopter arrives with the ransom money, a nasty comment on civilian politicians.

The story drags in spots and repeats cliches from earlier films, as if they are running out of ideas. It has a very cynical outlook that could be nihilistic. This film seems to lack the production values of earlier films. Were you happy when it was over? This is more of a cartoon than earlier films.

Renier offers some troubling information but based on facts. Easy to read, well documented.If you are planning to retire someday, read this book. If you are trying to hang on to some of your hard earned moola, read this book. I read his other two books which are similar in nature. Reads like a conversation over a beer with the author. Nice work, Len!! ...Gates
