		"The Dead Pool," which is as good as the original "Dirty Harry," has lots of new angles, and a lot of things to say, especially about horror films, television news and the burden of being a celebrity.
		One of the players in the Dead Pool is Peter Swan (Liam Neeson), a monomaniacal British horror-film director, who is making a rock video in San Francisco.

		"The Dead Pool" is the only Dirty Harry film shot in 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen, and the results are the best of all the five films in the collection.

		The Dead Pool, the last of the Dirty Harry quintet is also the series' least, the victim of a burnt-out character and a tired formula.

		However, I don't think THE DEAD POOL was the worst of the bunch; I agree with Ed that that honor goes to SUDDEN IMPACT.

	The Dead Pool - Movie Review
		The fifth and last of the Dirty Harry movies, The Dead Pool may not be the best in the series, but it's probably the funniest.
		Thanks to Evan Kim's reluctant "Chinese-American partner," Patricia Clarkson's tough reporter, and Liam Neeson's egomaniacal Brit movie director, The Dead Pool is at least populated with memorable supporting characters.
		The story -- involving a betting pool involving which San Francisco celebrities are going to die (who then start getting murdered) -- is a bit trite, but at 91 minutes, it doesn't get in the way of lots of old-fashioned shootin'.

	DVD.net : The Dead Pool - DVD Review
		This is a bit of a shame, because the character really deserves to go out in a blaze of glory with all the promise and attitude Eastwood showed in Dirty Harry 17 years earlier.
		Instead, we can clearly see that the spark was gone by the time The Dead Pool was made, with Eastwood merely needing another cash cow to fund his next personal project.
		This one has everything we had come to expect from the series: a new partner he has to reluctantly team up with, a co-incidental and plot irrelevant shootout to give Harry a chance to say some cool line and shoot some scumbags and the ever present chewing out by his superiors.
