Sudden Impact review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 07/06/13
"Go ahead...make my day." Harry Callahan stops some black criminals. He then confronts a crime-lord in which his superior reprimands him after his antics. Spencer (Sondra Locke) tracks down the rapists of her sister. A series of mysterious murders occur without any clues. It was fascinating how easily Spencer tracked all those responsible for the crimes against her sister and what a dead-shot she was too. Best lines despite some lousy screenplay - "Life is full of risks, isn't it." - Spencer and "Funny. I never thought of it as a game." and "Everybody wants results but nobody wants to do what they have to do to get them done." - Harry. Soundtrack was just irritatingly annoying and the direction was not as smooth as his other films. This however provided so much action compared to Dirty Harry and an antagonist smart enough to get away from a crime scene. Overall, a decent watch for crime and action fans. Not one of the director's best, still it has entertaining moments and slight humor.
