A series that has become too familiar using the same old formula.

A solid third installment in the DIRTY HARRY series. Tyne Daly excellent as the flustered but competent female partner. Great final showdown with terrorists on Alcatraz.

Eastwood’s flinty-eyed stare and snarling lip are still more than satisfactory.
