The Dead Pool (1988)
It's my favorite Dirty Harry movie. And it's Underrated.
People underrate this Dirty Harry movie. Clint Eastwood played Harry Callahn one last time in 1988 for The Dead Pool. When I first watched this movie, I knew there was something odd. It doesn't seem like the other films. Many of the "Eastwood regulars" don't make appearances. I still liked it! And the idea of keeping the villain of the movie hidden until the end. This Dirty Harry movie shows another "human" side of Harry and he's more mellow. Especially towards the love interest, Sam Walker played by Patricia Clarkson. If you haven't seen this movie, give it a look see. It really isn't that bad. Give it a chance. It had action, crime, a little humor, as well as some romance between the two characters.
Another Midnight Run (1994)
It's a start...but, way too silly.
Another Midnight Run was released in 1994 along with it's other sequels. This movie wasn't bad, but it's easy to lose focus. Christopher McDonlad picked up the role of Jack Walsh and did a great job. The movie starts off with Jack just waking up. He's not going to find work...he's getting ready for a blind date! I was confused, myself. I still can't believe it, Jack Walsh on a blind date. That doesn't go to well when his card fails to work. Anywho, Jack gets a phone call from Eddie and has a job for him and Marvin to work on together. Bernie Abbot and Helen Bishop, the slickest con-artist around have to be brought in. Jack was offered $15,000 just to bring in the wife. And Marvin was to bring in the husband. Jack doesn't care about Marvin's score. He wants to bring in both of them for $45,000. They slip and slide Jack as he struggles to keep them with him. Jack screws up WAY too much for the greatest bounty-hunter in LA. This movie was good...but it could do way better.
