Odd, but I never saw this. After reading J Hoberman’s brilliant book “The Dream Life,” which uses the image of Callahan on its cover and talks quite a bit about its politics, I felt I really should. It’s pretty good for a cop movie. I wish it was more an odd little time capsule from the late 60s instead of a launching pad for the brutal cop genre (still alive today) but it is pretty sharply written, bordering on literate. About as good as this type of movie can get and, as Hoberman suggests, acts as a nice political litmus test, open to all sorts of interpretations.
