...being advertised as the dirtiest Harry of them all, but this third adventure of the San Francisco cop who finds nothing but bureaucratic blundering above him and unpunished crime all around him shows Clint Eastwood's creation in a mellow mood. Oh, he can still total a liquor store in the course of rescuing hostages, and he still has the fastest lip in the business when backtalking a superior.
