3. Clint Eastwood (Harry Callahan in Dirty Harry)
When the first Dirty Harry movie was released, Harry Callahan became new template for an unusual type of cop in movie; someone who doesn’t hesitate to cross ethical and professional boundaries to uphold or pursue his own version of justice. This is especially true, when the law is served with inept individuals. All Dirty Harry films involve killing criminal and Harry uses a rationale that such conduct is needed to protect innocent people. Unfortunately, unorthodox methods he uses are often opposed by his superiors.
