Dirty Harry takes on the Death Squad of rookie cops- all Special Forces veterans. For 1973, the violence of the film makes today's action films meek by comparison. It features assassinations, bombings, shooting sprees, and bare-handed murder scenes in explicit detail. The former Marine Dirty Harry-Red Astrachan fight to the death gave me chills! It is the best terrorism movie bar none. The forerunner to Lethal Weapon and Die Hard, its the perfect Post-9/11 film about the lone cop who stumbles on a secret organization- and lives to tell. "A man's got to know his limitations." is the best line. All the casting is excellent as is cinematography and dialogue. Look for David Soul and Tim Matheson in early roles.
