Leave your thoughts about Sudden Impact.
| Mania.comRob VauxConsidering that Sudden Impact delivers one of the most memorable lines in movie history, it's surprising how forgettable the rest of it is. |
| Fantastica DailyChuck O'LearyNot as strong as the first three Dirty Harry movies, but this fourth one has enough classic Harry Callahan moments to make it a worthy addition to the series. |
| CinePassionFernando F. CroceA study of the Dirty Harry macho drive, worked out lucidly by the filmmaker and his avenging muse |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliA viscerally effective, fast paced thriller. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertSudden Impact is a Dirty Harry movie with only the good parts left in. All the slow stuff, such as character, motivation, atmosphere and plot, has been pared to exactly the minimum necessary to hold together the violence. |
| Chicago ReaderDave KehrThe film is split down the middle, with many elegant symmetries and curling plotlines bridging the two halves: one part is a bracing, funny, almost Keaton-esque comedy starring Harry as a deadpan center of disaster; the other is a brooding, brutal film noir, starring Sondra Locke as a vengeful femme fatale. |
| NewsweekDavid AnsenThe real problem here is technical; Eastwood the director is far less sure-footed than he was with the likes of Play Misty for Me or The Outlaw Josey Wales. |
| Capital Times (Madison, WI)Rob ThomasHarry starts to parody himself with this one. |
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.At times like a traffic jam of different stories and characters crossing paths back and forth for almost two hours, and there isn't too much tension to go with it. |
| Common Sense MediaBarbara Shulgasser'80s cop-drama sequel has rape, murder, revenge. |
