Sudden Impact (1983)
Country: US
Technical: col/scope 117m
Director: Clint Eastwood
Cast: Clint Eastwood, Sondra Locke, Pat Hingle, Bradford Dillman
Synopsis:
Harry Callahan is assigned a case outside San Francisco where a traumatised woman is gunning down rapists.
Review:
Famous for its 'Make my day' catchphrase, this fourth Dirty Harry outing is very much an 80s reboot of a tired 70s formula. The first directed by the star, it has a greater emphasis on aesthetics in the use of widescreen, lighting, framing and the fetishism of weaponry. A robust thriller with punitive violence, it is no longer the frontier response to a defunct liberal law and order policy that it was, but a fully-fledged assertion of the new Republican Right agenda.
