REVIEWS:

"I think films are more often a mirror of society than an agent
of change, and that when we blame the movies for the evils around
us we are getting things backward. 'Dirty Harry' is very effective
at the level of a thriller. At another level, it uses the most
potent star presence in American movies -- Clint Eastwood -- to lay
things on the line. If there aren't mentalities like Dirty Harry's
at loose in the land, then the movie is irrelevant. If there are,
we should not blame the bearer of the bad news."

-- Roger Ebert; December 1971
