The Sudden Impact franchise has been around for quite some time and
"Sudden Impact" was the 80's attempt to reintroduce Dirty Harry to
existing and new audiences.
Even though Eastwood has aged since his
earlier years of playing Detective Harry Callaghan, he is still a
force to be reckoned with and has this great onscreen presence that
has only been matched by a few people.
In Sudden Impact, Callaghan
once again is called to duty as he investigates the murders of a
variety of men. These murders are as a result of Jennifer Spencer (Sondra
Locke) who was also romantically linked to Eastwood during this
movie and is hunting down the men who raped her and her younger
sister during a visit to a beach 10 years ago.
Once again the movie
contains some great one-liners from Eastwood and the star of the
disc is the digitally re-mastered video and audio quality that has
never seen Dirty Harry looking this good.
Featuring sharp images and
good black levels, the flaws are quite sparse and match that with
Dolby TrueHD 5.1 and you have a truly impressive looking and
sounding movie.
The extras include commentary by Richard Schicken, a
documentary entitled "The Evolution of Clint Eastwood" which follows
Eastwood from actor to director that nicely rounds this Blu-Ray
disc.
