This is probably the most violent film of the series. Here the brutal but effective Callahan is looking for a killer who shoots her male victims in the genitals. Jennifer Spencer (Sondra Locke) is tracking down the people responsible for raping her and her sister 10 years earlier, killing them one by one. Callahan is on the case, but will he stop her from meting out her own brand of justice, which is uncomfortably close to his own? Eastwood himself produced and directed this action-packed film in which Harry dodges so many different foes, the violence almost becomes cartoonish. The film is directed like a full-frontal assault, with Eastwood projecting his trademark toughness. The filmmakers also created a main villain so repellent that no comeuppance seems punishment enough. [More]

Reviews for Sudden Impact
The beauty of the Dirty Harry movies isn't all the famous lines but is Clint Eastwood's wonderfully dry and threatening delivery of them.
Freudian’s could have a field day examining the obsession that Harry has with the size of his weaponry in this flaccid police thriller
Eastwood’s new catch word is 'Swell,' the body count is higher than ever, he’s honed his snarl to perfection, and the ending is straight out of High Noon.
