The fifth and final entry in the DIRTY HARRY series sees Eastwood coasting on auto-pilot. The plot is larger than life, the characters one-dimensional and the film almost descends into self-parody. That said it is still an enjoyable ride with a number of witty one-liners for Eastwood and some effective action scenes. The chase involving a remote-control car wired with explosives sums up the movie with its affecting absurdity.
