After the drudgery of Sudden Impact, the third and worst sequel to Dirty Harry, no one could have expected the fourth to have any signs of life. But The Dead Pool is fairly inspired, even playful--check out a "chase" scene between Clint Eastwood's Harry Callahan character and a remote-controlled toy car wielding a bomb--and it ended the long-running series on an unexpectedly positive note. This time, Callahan investigates a series of murders that appears to be on a "death list," while becoming romantically involved with a television reporter (Patricia Clarkson). Jim... Carrey has a small but memorable part as a doped-up rock star, and Liam Neeson is on board, too. IT is directed by Eastwood-surrogate Buddy Van Horn (Any Which Way You Can). --Tom Keogh [show more]

The fifth film in the 'Dity Harry' series. Notorious hard man Harry Callahan (Clint Eastwood) is unhappy when he becomes the target of macabre interest when his name appears on an anonymous hit list - not that he minds being singled out by killers, just that he doesn't like appearing on a list which also features rock stars and TV celebrities. Aided by a new karate-kicking partner (Evan C. Kim) and bugged by an ambitious journalist (Patricia Clarkson), Callahan sets out to chase down the would-be assassins and creates all kinds of mayhem in the process.
