The Dead Pool (1988)
10/10
EXCELLENT DIRTY HARRY SEQUEL
20 November 2018
THE DEAD POOL is a must have for all DIRTY HARRY fans. First of all, CLINT EASTWOOD continues to take no prisoners in this movie. Plus, the supporting cast really make this movie entertaining. PATRICIA CLARKSON plays and ambitious news reporter covering the story on CALLAHAN'S major role in the LOU JARENO conviction, and his investigation in THE DEAD POOL deaths. Then there is LIAM NEESON who plays the head strong move director PETER SWAN who puts CALLAHAN on his DEAD POOL list which becomes real. Also, there is EVAN C. KIM who plays DIRTY HARRY'S latest partner and is also an expert in KUNG FU. Finally, there is MICHEAL CURRIE who reprises his role as CAPTAIN DONNELLY (LT. in SUDDEN IMPACT) and gets fed up with CALLAHAN'S destruction of police vehicles and JIM CARREY who plays the drug addict actor JOHNNY SQUARES. As for the scenes in this movie, my favorite is the car chase with CALLAHAN and his partner, the radio controlled explosive car, and the killer's car. However during the scene when CALLAHAN walks in on the identified killer attacking SAMANTHA WALKER, PETER SWAN should have also been there to confront him since it was someone in the past that he remembered. Overall, this movie is and excellent action movie for all CLINT EASTWOOD AND DIRTH HARRY fans. Furthermore, this is the first DIRTY HARRY movie when CLINT EASTWOOD says "marvelous" and "swell" in the same movie. "Marvelous" is from THE ENFORCER, and "swell" is from SUDDEN IMPACT.
