What a surprise

Slate doesn't like the Dirty Harry movies.

The reviewer apparently was so repulsed by their “quaintly repugnant politics” than he could not pay close attention to the movies. His summaries are almost laughably wrong.

I guess it is naïve to ask why it is OK to criticize Dirty Harry for its repugnant politics when more celebrated films-- The Godfather, Bonnie and Clyde, or Hannibal, for example-- are immune from this type of analysis.
