This one was a disappointment. Part of it is slapstick (the "car" chase scene) and it is just not a particularly good flick. I gave it the third star because I like Clint Eastwood so much and always enjoy his acting, but really, this one is a disappointment.

Who cannot like Dirty Harry, Inspector Harry Callaghan? He represented a type of cop that was supposed to be outdated at the time (1988) but has come back into honor over the last ten years when leniency and benevolence towards criminals has gone down because it turned out quite obvious that this kind of attitude was encouraging crime. Ruthlessness is probably not the answer but a firm and just application of the law, nothing but the law, but all the law without any exception is definitely the right ... Read More

This was the fifth and last "Dirty Harry" movie with Clint Eastwood playing the hero again, Inspector Harry Callahan, cleaning up the streets of San Francisco from all the scumbag criminals. I've always found "The Dead Pool" to be one of his best in this series.
It's entertaining with pretty taut suspense and always fun to go back and see a young Jim Carrey. It's always cool, too, to watch those little remote-control cars with bombs attached go speeding through the streets underneath automobiles. ... Read More

Okay, so you are in the mood for a "Dirty Harry" flick. which one to choose???? I'll save you the trouble, and unless you've already seen the other four "Harry" flicks, pick one of those instead. "The Dead Pool" is okay, but compared to what came before it in Clint Eastwood's iconic series, it's a huge letdown.
The basic storyline is that someone is targeting local San Fran celebrities, and using a B-movie director's Dead Pool list as targets. (For those who don't know what a Dead Pool is; it's when ... Read More

Well organized DVD, with plenty of extras. Learned quite a bit behind the scenes. Effective box, captures the Dirty Harry feel. You can't go wrong unless you are going to Blue Ray.

Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
After the drudgery of Sudden Impact, the fourth and worst sequel to Dirty Harry, no one could have expected the fifth to have any signs of life. But The Dead Pool is fairly inspired, even playful--check out a "chase" scene between Clint Eastwood's Harry Callahan character and a remote-controlled toy car wielding a bomb--and it ended the long-running series on an unexpectedly positive note. This time, Callahan investigates a series of murders that appears to be on a "death list," while becoming romantically involved with a television reporter (Patricia Clarkson). Jim Carrey has a small but memorable part as a doped-up rock star, and Liam Neeson is on board, too. Directed by Eastwood surrogate Buddy Van Horn (Any Which Way You Can). --Tom Keogh
Description:
An underground betting pool contains the names of people recently murdered. As "Dirty Harry" Callahan investigates, he discovers his name is on the list.
