Third outing for Clint Eastwood as "Dirty Harry" Callahan, this time, after taking direct action to stop a hostage situation(as only Harry can!) he is then given a desk job, and another new partner(played by Tyne Daly, the first woman he has had to work with).

I have a bit of problems with this flick. To be honest, there isn't that much of typical Dirty Harry style to see, yes, I know, he do has a one-liner, this time it's "marvellous" but somehow this flick let me down.

The double flashback.Interesting to see Mostel in a serious role.

*Possible Spoilers Ahead!* If nothing else, The Enforcer proved to me that, yes, actions do speak louder than words, especially if you're packing a powerful .

The Enforcer is the third entry in the 'Dirty Harry' series. This time Harry Callaghan is assigned a female partner to assist him in bringing down a group of hippy terrorists.

The original was good and memorable. The sequel, Magnum Force, was entertaining enough to keep my attention.

I have never enjoyed or held this film, THE ENFORCER, and any subsequent Dirty Harry film in high regard unlike the first two entries. They were always OK time wasters.

B Windust and Raoul Walsh's direction is first class, B&W cinematography scintillating, good screenplay, Adelaide Klein's elegance and beauty is timeless, and Bogart in good form, ably supported by Mostel, di Corsia, and the rest of a robust cast.Very neat ending, too.
