The Enforcer
Dirty Harry Callahan returns again, this time saddled with a rookie female partner. Together, they must stop a terrorist group consisting of angry Vietnam veterans.
Critics Sentiment
Harry and Moore split up on Alcatraz to rescue the mayor
Maxwell fatally stabs DiGiorgio during the warehouse robbery
The film drops significantly when beloved character DiGiorgio is killed, then recovers as the Harry-Moore partnership develops chemistry.
The Enforcer maintains solid entertainment value throughout its runtime but consistently falls short of the gritty intensity that made the first two films classics. Critics appreciated the fresh dynamic of Harry's female partner and their developing chemistry, particularly Eastwood and Daly's performances. However, the weaker villains and more formulaic approach left many feeling this was the least compelling entry in the series so far.
