Film Review - Sudden Impact (1983)

Sudden Impact is the fourth in the series and yet again Eastwood plays Dirty Harry but this time he’s been shipped to a small coastal town to investigate a series of murders that is going on in the area, but as we learned in the previous films, wherever Callahan goes, mayhem goes with him.


I had a mixed reaction to watching this film, some of the elements in it such as the main title sequence, “Go Ahead, Make my Day” and some of the side villains are reminiscent of the original Dirty Harry film but at the same time, the film runs on for too long and suffers just as the other follow ups have with the lack of a central scumbag as the main villain.


So all in all, a 2 and a half out of 5 for Sudden Impact.
