But The Dead Pool is fairly inspired, even playful--check out a "chase" scene between Clint Eastwood's Harry Callahan character and a remote-controlled toy car wielding a bomb--and it ended the long-running series on an unexpectedly positive note. This time, Callahan investigates a series of murders that appears to be on a "death list," while becoming romantically involved with a television reporter (Patricia Clarkson). Jim Carrey has a small but memorable part as a doped-up rock star, and Liam Neeson is on board, too. Directed by Eastwood surrogate Buddy Van Horn (Any Which Way You Can). --Tom Keogh Description: An underground betting pool contains the names of people recently murdered. As "Dirty Harry" Callahan investigates, he discovers his name is on the list. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Dead Pool DVDWell organized DVD, with plenty of extras. Learned quite a bit behind the scenes. Effective box, captures the Dirty Harry feel. You can't go wrong unless you are going to Blue Ray. Rating: - The funniest of the Dirty Harry pictures....This is the funniest of the Dirty Harry films. It has some of the best one liners in the series, and it's pretty obvious that the film is played for laughs. It was the last Dirty Harry film (I doubt there will be another one. Clint isn't one to repeat himself), and it has no pretensions on trying to be anything else. If you like the serious (yet darkly humourous at times) tone of the early films, you're probably not going to like this one. Many have said that Clint wanted to make Bird (one of ... Read More Rating: - Dirty Harry's last, in a nice Deluxe Edition, details hereThe Dead Pool is the fourth and final sequel to Dirty Harry. It was pretty well received, considering its place in the series. In this installment, there's a convoluted plot about a game in which bets are taken on the deaths of celebrities, including tough cop Harry Callahan himself, with young Liam Neeson playing a questionable film director who's playing the game. Issues of the celebrity-enslaved press are mixed with romance as Harry dates a reporter. As always, there's plenty of action, suspense, ... Read More Rating:  - Could be worse..The fifth and last Dirty Harry movie never really grabs your attention. It isn't bad but its not a patch on the original, or even some of the earlier sequels. Eastwood is suitably laconic and there are moments when, just as in the original film, you completely side with Harry's heavy-handed tactics. Especially when he removes the camera from a heartless film-crew, filming a bereaved girlfriend, and throws a lot of dollars onto the concrete 10 yards away. The problem with this film is that Harry ... Read More Rating: - Probably the "second best" Dirty Harry movie."The Dead Pool" was the last, and probably the "second best" Dirty Harry movie made by Clint Eastwood. The story line, plot, and action are as good as those of the original "Dirty Harry", and the now-older Inspector Callahan is quite believable. The implied love interest, played by Patricia Clarkson, adds an interesting dimension to the story, and sets up the climax of the film in a tense, but satisfying way. Finally, Harry's Smith & Wesson .44 Magnum revolver is featured as his primary weapon, ... Read More |
