5.0 out of 5 starsGreat film from director Don Siegel and Eastwood with stand out Andrew Robinson.

Don Siegel’s best Eastwood film. “Dirty Harry” arrived in the wake of films like “The French Connection” with an anti-hero at the center of the action. While it was in production at the same time as “The French Connection”, it was part of a movement about antiheroes at the time.
Performances are uniformly excellent especially from Andrew Robinson a terrific and underrated actor who would be recognized later for his skills as an actor.
Inspired by the Zodiac murders, Harry Fink’s script focuses on Harry Callahan (Eastwood) an unconventional San Francisco cop that continually breaks or bends rules to enforce the law.
The film was criticized at the time for its violence but the quality of the filmmaking stands above the simple conventions of exploitation films at the time.
The reissue looks exceptional probably the best it ever has. Colors and shading benefit from the HDR pass. The fresh scan stands out because of the fine detail which is exceptional for a 1971 film with the stocks at the time.
Audio sounds quite good with a lossless presentation.
Special features include the previous commentary plus two new featurettes. There’s also the “American Masters” documentary included as well as an 8nterciew gallery and another hour documentary on Eastwood.
This is by far the best 4K movie of 2025, so far. The 8k scan of the original film really shines on this one. The biggest surprise for me was the audio, which was remastered. It is loud and clean. Dialogue is exceptional. I never appreciated the Dolby Atmos on a movie until now. The steel case is cool also. As far as the movie, it’s probably the best cop action movie of the seventies. If you collect 4k movies and like Dirty Harry, this is an absolute must buy. You can get the cheaper standard case version for a little less money.

Going to introduce my Dad to the joys of steelbooks with this and the other 2 Clint Eastwood movies just released on steelbook. I think he’ll really enjoy them for Father’s Day and his upcoming Bday.

I’ve always loved this movie. It’s a classic that spawned so many other “cop” movies & TV shows. This 4k is an absolute banger! The original camera negatives were scanned in 8k, so this 4k looks absolutely astounding! The opening shots of San Francisco are stunning.
5.0 out of 5 starsGreat movie with a cool steelbook

This movie is outstanding, especially 54 years after its initial release. It has some of the best action sequences and a movie quote that feels more relevant today. The steelbook design is pretty cool and pertains to the movie’s style.
