The fifth and final DIRTY HARRY film sees San Francisco Police Detective Harry Callahan become a media darling, much to his own reluctance – and has found his name on the list called ‘The Dead Pool’ from a sleazy director of exploitation films, Peter Swan (Liam Neeson) .
However, when the star of Swan’s latest film, Johnny Squares (Jim Carrey in one of his earliest film roles) is found dead, Callahan senses there is foul play afoot. Meanwhile, a mystery killer is aping Swan’s ‘Dead Pool’ list for real and determined to complete all tasks on it…
Although a bit sillier than the previous films, THE DEAD POOL is still fun, with an entertaining car chase through the streets of San Francisco as Callahan’s car is pursued by a bomb-laden toy remote controlled car.
