Film Review - Magnum Force (1973)

Magnum Force sees the return of Clint Eastwood as Inspector Harry Callahan but this time he has to answer to a new boss played by Hal Holbrook, the story this time concerns a renegade cop that has been doing away with various criminals throughout San Francisco who they claim are being unjustly prosecuted, and Harry just might be next.


It was with great trepidation that I watched Magnum Force, the original film was an all time classic but its common to all film fans that sequels are never as good, Magnum Force is no exception, don’t get me wrong, I didn’t hate it but I also thought that it wasn’t that good either, it was great to see Clint back in the role but that was about it.


So, as a result, 3 out of 5 for a good but not great Dirty Harry sequel.
