Almost stop watching....

Not a bad film, just not as good as the first 3. The repetition of complaining about Harry trashing a police car is almost too much for me to keep watching.

Harry puts a mobster behind bars and in revenge his people try and murder Harry. They went all out! A whole battalion of mob guys with heavy weapons shoot up his car and come so close to killing him. He gets away and the first thing he has to hear about is how his antics cost the city $13K for a car?

Can you imagine that? I'm ready to kick the screen in and start watching something else. Harry is amazingly calm. It was nothing he did wrong!

Harry's superiors chew him out in every movie and it's real old in this time, both the captain and lieutenant give him no breaks and even entertain a "lawsuit" from the newslady.

Despite this and a few other things, I still enjoyed.

Having watched all 5 films in a row recently, it was so tiring to see his superiors still going on at him about trashing this and that! And people calling him a dinosaur or mocking his old-fashioned ways. At least his partner survived this time.
