There has been a lot of discussion lately involving Clint Eastwood’s new film, “American Sniper”.  But Eastwood has had a couple brushes in the past with sniper related elements in his movies.  “Dirty Harry” featured a psycho killer who dispatches a lovely swimming in a pool from long range with a sniper rifle.  “Joe Kidd” contained a character who uses a high powered rifle with a scope in the Old West to pick off victims.  “The Enforcer” was the third picture in the “Dirty Harry” series.  It ends up that Eastwood’s unorthodox cop, Harry Callahan, resorts to utilizing a laz rocket to annihilate another psycho villain who has kidnapped the mayor of San Francisco.  The dilapidated prison setting of Alcatraz is where the “hit” goes down.  We get the sniper’s point of view as Callahan sights in his prey and blows him to smithereens.  For what it’s worth.
