The Mexico Kill
(Mar 1982)

"You rich people have a shitload of problems, don't you?"

"Dirty Harry" is on a rampage- against a mob-run dope network only he can bust!  Not even losing his badge can keep "Dirty Harry" Callahan away from Magnum-powered action.  Now Harry's working for a millionaire, and battling dope-running sea pirates from San Francisco to Mexico's heroin-packed shores.  Behind the scenes and the big guns is his old enemy Father Nick.  An underworld kingpin and ex-con, Nick can't let the past die-and Harry won't let the mobsters live!

 

Review

6 Shots, Or Only 5?
** 1/2

After he crashes a private club to make an arrest, Harry finds himself in dispute with his superiors and off the force once again.  So begins 'Mexico Kill', which ends up suffering from a few of Death on the Docks' problems.  Namely, a somewhat flat final act that forces Harry into the role of island adventurer.  Only this time, he gets mixed up in a smuggling operation on a small island, which he ends up having to shoot his way off.

Harry's relationship with his employer's soon to be ex-wife does add a little complexity to the plot, as Harry soon discovers that he is being played from several sides.  He also seems to have lost the reluctance to romantically involve himself with a friend's wife that he displayed with Carol McCoy in Magnum Force. 

Speaking of action, Harry does get into a few scrapes while in San Francisco, as he helps stop a confrontation in Golden Gate Park, gets shot at with a Howitzer, and finds himself unconscious in a sinking yacht.  -hc
