    ...basically Dirty Harry in Atlanta. Rumor has it, Reynolds (who directed as well as starred) did this film to pay Clint Eastwood back for breaking their pact (that Reynolds did comedy and Eastwood did action) when he made Every Which Way But Loose. It's not bad and had sequel potential. Check out a brief appearance by Myao Yin as a blind call girl, seen in the YT video poster frame.

    It's better than several of the DH sequels, though I wouldn't rank it higher than the original Dirty Harry. The plot seems fairly cliche now but at the time maybe not so much. A lot of the action is sorta TV-like but it's got some clever cop/buddy dialog and I don't think Rachel Ward was ever more attractive than in this film, playing a $1000 a night call girl named Domino.

    This was, I think, the second Rated-R movie that my dad took me to see in a theatre, the same year as Outland. One of those two he actually pulled me out of school to go see with him at an afternoon matinee. One of those sorty bribey things parents will sometimes do when they've got bad news to break to you (2nd divorce).

    The Matrix Reloaded - I always liked this one.. the third movie not so much, but I enjoy this about as much as the original.

I can still only afford repeat viewings of the first every few years or so because it's harder and harder to not think about all that's wrong with this series. This one though, it's maybe the first time I got pissed off by a film's badness instead of just being disappointed.

    Mars Et Avril (2012) - liked the visuals but the story failed to engage me.. definitely a fluff-piece.,
