The Dead Pool (1988)
7/10
Strong Finish to the Series
20 September 2017
Dirty Harry Callahan (Clint Eastwood) must stop a sick secret contest to murder local celebrities, which includes himself as a target.

This is possibly Jim Carrey's best role. I mean, maybe I'm being just a tad facetious, but it is a surprise this is not one he is really remembered for, given how much he really kicks off the film.

Roger Ebert gave the film a thumbs up and said "As good as the original. Smart, quick and made with real wit." Gene Siskel also gave it a thumbs up and said "Perhaps the best Dirty Harry film since the original." Many others consider it to be the worst of the Dirty Harry movies. Those others are wrong. This is a top-notch action film, with hints of a slasher movie mixed in!
