Sudden Impact 1983

Sondra Locke was great in this.
Some scenes were a tough watch, which is not something I've ever felt from a Dirty Harry movie before.
Justice was seen to be done and deservedly so.

Fourth appearance, one of Harry's worst.

An improvement on 'The Enforcer', if still short of 'Dirty Harry' and 'Magnum Force'.

Clint Eastwood (also dir.) remains the constant high of these films, as the American rattles off a famous catchphrase in this installment. Sondra Locke is very good behind Eastwood, she's arguably the most standout support cast member from the whole series (thus far) to be honest.

A deep storyline coupled with all the usual things you get from this set of films and you have with a suitably entertaining flick. Interested to see how it all wraps up with finale 'The Dead Pool'.

Not nearly as good as I recall. Yes, it has "the line" but the fact that it has Sondra Locke surpasses that. She is so horrible in here and just drags the entire flick down.

First things first - I am a huge Eastwood fan so I might lean towards a favorable rating here despite the fact this isn't a great movie. It´s not one of the better movies even within its timeframe. But not the worst Calahan either, no, that title would go to The Dead Pool. And by 1983 the antics of a brutal cop were not that shocking. It's still a good enough movie for some cool quotes and no nonsense Calahan stuff.
The story is clearly not the most important. It´s a revenge tale rather than a who done it. What I like about the movie are the two leads - Eastwood is Calahan and Sondra Locke really is creepy.

By far the weakest "Dirty Harry"
