Some half-baked reflections on Clint Eastwood. Might delete later!

Callahan: "If that's all, Captain, I've got work to do."

Chief: "But not in homicide."

Callahan: "What ... ?"

Chief: "You've been transferred to personnel."

Callahan: "To Personnel? ... That's for assholes."

Chief [stands up]: "I was in Personnel, for ten years!"

Callahan]: "Yeah."

Not defending the Dirty Harry films, at all, they are quite horrible. But this scene from The Enforcer is great.

----

Never could reconcile Eastwood's late elegiac films such us Unforgiven with his Dirty Harry period, except that one is the counterpoint to the other. The early films celebrate paranoia, violence, misogyny, you name it. The late films show how this model fails. Perhaps the depth of the later films comes precisely from their opposition to the early ones?

Well #TheEnforcer was depressing. Callahan's sidekick-who-dies was likeable. In the previous movies the sidekicks were largely 1 dimensional ciphers.

Unfortunately there was a little too much ShakyCam for my taste, but the on-location shoots were an improvement on #MagnumForce.

Given the choice of watching film and TV from (roughly) that era, I'd probably prefer Cagney And Lacey over The Enforcer, although Hill Street Blues was better yet and knocks things like #BlueBloods into a cocked hat.

Desde hoy, #ElProtector (#TheEnforcer), el nuevo trabajo de acción y suspense de Millenium, ópera prima de Richard Hughes con Antonio Banderas, estará disponible en MovistarPlus+, Prime Video, Rakuten TV, iTunes / Apple TV +, Google Play Store, Orange TV y Filmin, de la mano de Vértice Cine.
