This is the first entry in the series to have been directed by Eastwood himself, and action is put over with great force, if also with some obviousness.

To all those cowboy movies we saw in our youth, all those TV Westerns and cop dramas and war movies, Dirty Harry has brought a great simplification: A big man, a big gun, a bad guy and instant justice.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Rotten
By my count, more than a dozen people are murdered on camera, about half by Miss Locke and most of the others by Mr. Eastwood. This gives them something in common as lovers.
Vincent Canby, New York Times
Rotten
Eastwood the star needed a hit to bolster his flagging ratings; now that he's got it, maybe Harry will be put out to stud, with his Magnum.
