how much it moved you
Two separate readings, not parts of the score β the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.
Nobody has rated this on FlickFeel yet. This is public discussion of this title, read into a curve. It is not a rating and it never becomes one.
Read from 31 comments (24 from Metacritic, 7 from TMDB reviews) β 6 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence β the shape below rests on 6 comments. The shaded band is how wide the uncertainty actually is, and it is drawn to scale.
Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

βThe film opens with a shot of a memorial wall in praise of the San Francisco Police officers who lost their lives in the line of duty, a SFPD badge is prominent as the camera scrolls down the ream of names on the wall. Cut to a rooftop sniper shooting a girl taking a swim in a swimming pool, cut to the coolest looking cop you have ever seen making his way to the rooftop scene, he stands and surveys the whole of the San Francisco bay area, this is, his area, and we know we are in for a very special film indeed.β

βSome of the scenes at the start have nothing to do with the investigation and while feel quite unnecessary to the plot, they still bring entertainment and shows us just what type of character Harry is.β

Published reviews, not felt experience β a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
βIt is also, of course, quite unrelentingly cool.β

βTry to get Siegelβs masterful camera rise out of your head: gun-happy Harry looming over his jabbering perp, who screams like a stuck pig as the shot recedes high into a dense night fog. This is not a cop film. Itβs a monster movie.β

βA crisp, beautifully paced film, full of Siegel's wonderful coups of cutting and framing.β
Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader Β· 100
βThe pleasures of this movie are abundant. The pacing is as swift as a speeding bullet. There are wonderfully evoked lived-in San Francisco locations... And there are splendid set pieces that showcase the perpetually-underrated Don Siegel's great skill a director. This film is efficient, unpretentious and much wittier and more stylish than your average cop movie.β

βI can see why this movie scared so many people. Iβm fairly liberal and I find Clintβs super-cop infinitely appealing. Imagine how this movie goes down with people who already have one foot in the door of the local militia or Klan auxiliary. Even Pauline KΓ¦l would have to admit that politics aside, this is a pretty damn effective action movie. This is Clint at maybe his best looking and healthiest, and his Inspector Callahan is perhaps every rebelβs dream.β

βBut 'Dirty Harry' succeeds in its last third : when acts of an officer (being Harry) enters in contradiction with the law. The tension rises until the very end, even if this is by convenient ways (taking children hostage).β

βSome early dialogues and scenes give a very clear introduction to the iconic character portrayed by the great Clint Eastwood.β

βIf there was a category for quintessential crime thrillers, I would almost certainly put Dirty Harry in that category. Everything about Dirty Harry is wonderful. The cinematography is fine and the locations and scenery are quite striking. Lalo Schifrin's music sets the atmosphere very well too, while the story is taut, the script is quotable and cleverly written, Don Siegel's direction is superb and the violence is shocking and daring. The acting is also great, in his more complex roles Clint Eaβ
