The Enforcer (1976)
7/10
A step down but good all the same.

I tend to agree with other fans of the "Dirty Harry" films that "The Enforcer" is nowhere near as good as the previous two. The villains in this film aren't as interesting or as menacing and John Mitchum being written out was a disappointment to me. It was good to see Harry Guardino again as Lieutenant Bressler and Bradford Dillman is excellent as the Police Chief. He and Clint Eastwood have some good verbal sparring. Tyne Daly is a convincing, gutsy cop. Also, the humour is a bit better than I expected. There are some good action set pieces but the gritty edge from "Dirty Harry" and "Magnum Force" is sorely missed.
