Clint Eastwood is a Cop Who Hates Everybody

Dirty Harry
                The first interesting fact about this movie is that Clint Eastwood’s famous line of “Do you feel lucky, punk?” actually comes quite early on, although it does come again later on at the end.    This movie is about a cop named Harry (portrayed by Clint Eastwood) who pretty much hates everybody and is willing to go to whatever lengths of violence are necessary in order to get the job done.  
                Although this isn’t a western in any sense (Except for maybe the gun play and Eastwood being the star), I don’t really have a blog fit for this review, so I’ve just stuck it here with what will become many other Clint Eastwood movies reviewed, as I primarily view Eastwood as an actor in westerns regardless of what else he may have done or do in the future. 
                This whole movie is pretty much about Harry trying to save a little girl and it kind of reminds me of Sin City in that way.    It truly is a great movie, a classic for all of the right reasons and not just because it spawned several not-as-good sequels.
