Dirty Harry is as much a critique of Harry as a celebration of him.
Red Dawn is a documentary and it's showing all day at the Ammu-nation.
So is Death Wish, for that matter.
I thought its sequels were hilarious, though. They had to work throught the man's entire family, then introduce new characters just so that they could get killed in some awful way and trigger his vigilante rampage again. First movie, wife killed, daughter raped. Second movie, daughter raped and killed, plus housekeeper. Third movie, old friend killed. Fourth movie, daughter's friend killed. Fifth movie, he's engaged! Guess what happens to her.
Nah, Dirty Harry was a great flick. Hollywood hated it. I'm surprised it got released. Dean Wormer was great as the mayor.
