The journey is over... today I've watched the last two Dirty Harry films.
Sudden Impact (aka Dirty Harry 4): The action takes a seat back this time and instead it takes a darker, character-driven approach. Clint Eastwood plays Harry as the `old man with a chip on his shoulder' -a story that would be inevitable as Harry Callahan is not inmortal- a role that I must say he plays with with facility and renewed vigor. Another noteworthy performance is that of Sondra Locke as Jennifer Spencer, who serves as a counterpart for Harry. The dialogue is snappy and the story itself (conceived by Charles B. Pierce and Earl E. Smith) is the most engaging since the original `Dirty Harry'. Overall, i'd say it is an interesting approach to the already established DH formula.
The Dead Pool (aka Dirty Harry 5): It was... okay. The action scenes were quite subpar compared with those of the previous films. The mistery surrounding the true identity of the villian was handled fairly decent. The movie also stands out for featuring actors Liam Neeson (who is excellent as the arrogant filmmaker) and Jim Carrey before they were famous.
My final rating on the films goes as follows: 1>2>4>3>>5
