Alicia I love this movie so much

Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

slightlymad22 The Enforcer (1976)Plot In A Paragraph: Dirty Harry (Clint) must foil a terrorist organization with the hep of his new rookie female partner (Tyne Daly) With the commercial Success of Magnum Force, it was only a matter of time before we got a third Dirty Harry!! Despite showing a softer side, as he is seen to be grieving over partners deaths, Harry is still the bullheaded hard nosed detective we remember from Magnum Force and Dirty Harry. Tyne Daly does well in the first strong woman role in the franchise. Harry Guardino and John Mitchum return, Albert Popwell turns up playing a different character for a third time in the franchise. It's weird, for some reason I always thought Clint directed this one. James Fargo does a good job of directing duties, the action scenes are well done and it's one of Clint's tightest movies. This is a bit lighter than the other two movies, and runs considerably shorter too. Jerry Fielding replaces Lalo Shifrin in scoring the movie. Once again, as usual, Clint is clearly doing his own stunts, and I believe it's the first time a Clint character uses the F word!! The Enforcer went on to become Clint's biggest commercial hit at that point, grossing $46 million at the domestic box office to end 1976 the ninth highest grossing movie of the year.

classicsoncall Back in the Eighties when I was still watching network TV, I used to catch Tyne Daly and Sharon Gless in 'Cagney and Lacey', their female detective team-up in which they cooperated in both their professional and personal lives. I couldn't help thinking back then that it was Daly's role in "The Enforcer" that recommended her for the part in the TV series. Even when watching the movie today, Daly as a cop doesn't quite click with me, but that's probably just a personal bias. Even so, it bothered me that she got wasted at the end of the story, as her chemistry with Clint Eastwood seemed to improve over the course of the picture.Maybe you had to live during the era, but it seemed that right after the kidnapping of Patty Hearst by the Symbionese Liberation Army in 1973, action movies of the time described militant gangs with names like The Peoples' Revolutionary Strike Force and it used to bug me no end. Another one was the International Liberation Army from the 1977 TV flick "The Night They Took Miss Beautiful". All these liberation armies and strike forces and they never accomplished a thing except grabbing headlines and making a nuisance of themselves. Oh well.Certainly Harry Callahan didn't start out being an equal opportunity partner and given the situations he found himself in, was as far removed from political correctness territory as circumstances allowed. His training scenarios for new recruits were priceless, and he never did get far with his cruelty to animals exercise with Mrs. Grey from the mayor's office. Kate Moore (Daly) had to summon all of her intestinal fortitude to get beyond Harry's prescription of getting married and having kids; fortunately small arms training stood her well in taking out Sister Wanda (Samantha Doane) at the activist priest's church.Hey, I don't know if this was intentional or not, but remember the beat down Harry gave to the guy at the whorehouse? He used the plunger method on a guy named Buchinski (Robert Hoy), and I had to wonder if that wasn't a subliminal tribute to another action star of the Seventies, Charles Bronson. Bronson's real last name was Buchinski, I thought that was kind of cool.Well you just knew one of those Laws rockets would have to come in handy to close out the story. Dirty Harry liked to do things his own way, and what better way then to go out with a big bang. And to think, creepy Bobby saw it coming and couldn't do a thing about it.

ivo-cobra8 The Enforcer (1976) the third entry of the Dirty Harry series is quite well good action movie. It is one of my personal favorite action movies. This one is my favorite action film with all Dirty Harry movies, It still good and an excellent movie. Clint Eastwood still plays terrific his character in the third ride in Dirty Harry series. This one is still the good one film of the Dirty Harry series. After a while they do get a little repetitive. I really didn't like how Harry was acting towards Kate Moore (Tyne Daly) I really didn't like that. Tyne Daly did a fine job acting as a cop in this movie. Five years later, she played in her own TV cop show Cagney & Lacey (1981), the show lasted for 7.years. The message is as clunky as a 44 magnum in a handbag. The film feels longer than the first two. The whole thing lacks the style of the original Dirty Harry.I like this film a lot there a are great moments and action in this movie. What I don't understand is the hate for this film. Why? I never understood why people say that The Enforcer is a fascist film. Why? Because Eastwood mows down a bunch of hippies? Newsflash, the Manson family was also a bunch of hippies. There were hippie terrorist groups bombing military bases in the 60s and early 70. For Christ sake, its like these idiots have no idea that the hippies were not all peace and love. I don't mind The Enforcer, but undeniably it is the weakest of the Dirty Harry films, however the whole theory of Harry being sexist is rather stupid, he was merely concerned about the lack of experience his partner has, it just so happens she is a woman and journalists and critics are just looking for anything to twist or complain about without thinking twice, it's just a bunch of crap. Tyne Daly did a great acting performance in this film and she did a great job as Kate Moore. I love her! I love that San Francisco Police Inspector Harry Callahan (Clint Eastwood) continues to carry as his sidearm his ".44 Magnum", the Smith & Wesson Model 29 with an 6 1/2" barrel. He comments in the film to his partner Insp. Kate Moore (Tyne Daly) that he particularly favors this gun due to penetration power, since he claims he's seen a .38 ricochet off a car windshield. He uses Rocket Launcher, the last showdown gun fights took place in Alcatraz, 3 years later, Clint Eastwood played in a movie Escape from Alcatraz (1979) that took place in the same prison. In this movie there are used even more automatic guns and hand guns. I love the actor DeVeren Bookwalter who played Bobby Maxwell an Vietnam Vet turned out the leader of the People's Revolutionary Strike Force (PRSF), who stole automatic weapons from warehouse, then killed Lt. Al "fatso" Bressler (Harry Guardino) from Dirty Harry. Than they kidnapped the mayor and they were extortion the city for ransom money. So now Inspector Harry Callahan and Kate Moore (Tyne Daly), have to spoil their plans and save the major.The Enforcer is a 1976 American action film and the third in the Dirty Harry film series. Directed by James Fargo, it stars Clint Eastwood as Inspector "Dirty" Harry Callahan, Tyne Daly as Inspector Kate Moore and DeVeren Bookwalter as terrorist leader/main antagonist Bobby Maxwell. The Enforcer is the third installment in the Dirty Harry film franchise. Clint Eastwood returns in the 1976 sequel, which finds Dirty Harry partnered with a rookie Inspector who happens to be a woman (Tyne Daly). The duo must stop an ultra-leftist terrorist organization that threatens to wreak havoc on the city. Of note is one of the earliest appearances in a film of the M72 LAW. They were all kind of weapons used in this flick, Clint Eastwood is using rocket launcher M72A1 LAW blowing up Maxwell (DeVeren Bookwalter) to pieces in the watch tower. The scene was fantastic! This movie is a 8, it doesn't deserve to be criticized tough it is weak film, but it is still good. I like this movie a lot, it is the last Dirty Harry movie made in the 70's. This movie 8 and deserves it, it I still a good action movie.

OllieSuave-007 This is the second sequel to Dirty Harry, where Inspector Harry Callahan (Clint Eastwood) teams up with new partner Inspector Kate Moore (Tyne Daly) to go after a terrorist group who threatens to blow up San Francisco if their money demands aren't met. As with the previous films, the mystery begins immediately when the terrorist group shows their murderous intentions, proving that the bunch, especially the scumbag leader Bobby Maxwell (DeVeren Bookwalter), is a dangerous piece of work. Maxwell was so knife-happy, harming people mercilessly, that you would love to root against him and hope Callahan would bust him up really bad. In the middle of all the terrorist chaos, there are these random unrelated crimes foiled by Callahan, which showcases his strength and witty attitude as he deals with the city's worst of the worst. This let us see, once again, Callahan's unorthodox but pretty comical ways of dealing with these criminals and ridding the city of them. I thought, though, that despite the suspenseful plot element, the overall movie has fewer action and has less satisfying moments, ***spoiler ahead*** particularly how Callahan has to let the butt-kissing, politically connected Captain McKay throw the rulebook at him and how Callahan ultimately dealt with Maxwell - Callahan really needed to give him a taste of his own medicine after all the harm and damage he's done. ***spoiler ends*** The scenes with the clueless Mayor (John Crawford) and the dirty-mouth Mustapha (Albert Popwell) dragged the film. Clint Eastwood stayed true to his form as Callahan and had some good chemistry with Tyne Daly. But, overall, this is the least satisfying of all the Dirty Harry movies. Grade C
