197??
Well, do ya, punk? (Grimace, grimace).
Not a particularly redemptive view of humanity.
Clint Eastwood excels as...Clint Eastwood.
The story line is no-frills, and we are left in no doubt as to who the goodies and baddies are, and what the baddies deserve...
I guess kind of refreshing.
Uncomplicated.
I especially like the funky, jazz-tinged and highly percussive soundtrack by Lalo Schifrin.
What's better?
Western or cop-thriller?
Somehow the Sergio Leone stuff just seems to have an edge on the destined-for-greatness stakes...
But this ain't too bad...the climax is pretty climactic (though I did joke with Andy that filming Clint Eastwood running around San Francisco in the dark is a good way to save money in the budget!).
7/10.
