Pauline Kael never forgave Clint Eastwood for that statement or for making Dirty Harr y, and she was on hand to set her hooks into the inevitable sequel that followed in 1973, Magnum Force . Of that film she wrote Clint Eastwood isn't offensive. He isn't an actor, so one could hardly call him a bad actor.... And acting isn't required of him in Magnum Force , which takes its name from the giant's phallus. ... A tall, cold cod like Eastwood removes the last pretensions to human feeling from the action melodrama, making it an impersonal, almost abstract exercise in brutalization.
