Harry Callaghan is back, and this time has to deal with hoodlums who are terrorising San Francisco - and kidnap the Mayor for a lot of money.
Not only that, but Harry has to deal with something else: the fact he has to have a lady partner on his patrol, Kate Moore is young and energetic, but at times very misguided and does not always get it right.
He's also got to deal with new politics in the force, his so-called dinosaur antics won't be tolerated any more, especially his unorthodox way of dealing with some punks who rob a liquor store.
This is an average film, with some great moments - especially the rooftop chase with the guy in the tanned suit, and also the scene where the gang are on the island - but it's not the best Dirty Harry movie, but not the worst either, I hand that award to "The Dead Pool".
The transfer is very good, 1080p AV-C, running at a steady 30Mb/s with a 7.1 TruHD audio track, so do expect some good audiovisual stimuli, this is the best Harry's looked in ages, even the original cinema reel wasn't this good.
There are some good interviews about the Dirty Harry series and violence, and a bit of background on the film itself, plus some good commentary on the film. This is actually better than the DVD edition, so I'm rather pleased about that, as it's a great improvement.
This is a great package, and I think it's well worth the price tag, I have all 5 Dirty Harry movies on blu-ray now and I can't say I'm disappointed by them, they're worth the wait and the money.
If you have blu-ray and love Dirty Harry, get this, it's an essential.

The dirtiest harry?
Review date: 2008-06-14 Rating: 6 out of 10
The Enforcer is the third Dirty Harry movie and was released in 1976. Harry this time is on the trail of a terorist group who have kidnapped the mayor and has the added hassle of bedding in a new partner (tyne daly of cagney and lacey fame)for his troubles.
The enforcer is a good but not great dirty harry movie. Of course the whole thing is pretty average storywise and could have been lifted from an episode of starsky and hutch, but clints perfomance and a couple of strong supporting members carry the film along with aplomb.
The blu-ray 1080p transfer though is nothing short of a revelation. This looks like it was shot yesterday for the most part. Some darker scenes struggle but as soon as theres light the clarity and depth of the picture is fantastic. I have Dirty harry on blu ray too and this tops that easily. i have seen quite a few old films on blu ray and all have been an improvement over the standard dvd but not greatly, but this really does look superb.
