A Dirty Harry Script Clint Rejected As "Too Grim" Became a Denzel Thriller
Before Ricochet became a Denzel Washington thriller it started life as a Dirty Harry sequel, which Clint Eastwood personally passed on. Eastwood was best known for his work in Westerns during the '60s, with the Dollars trilogy marking his movie breakthrough. His next major success was Dirty Harry, a dark 1971 thriller where his titular detective breaks all the rules to catch a serial killer stalking San Francisco. Dirty Harry was a major success and featured several iconic scenes and lines of dialogue, but it was also controversial for its seeming endorsement of police brutality.
