44 Magnum that could blow your head clean off. If you think about it, there aren’t many discernible qualities that separate Clint Eastwood’s Harry Callahan from his ‘Man with No Name’ in Sergio Leone’s Dollars trilogy just trade in the Western garb and a regular six-shooter for suits and a. In this case, Fincher deftly guides his audience through the story’s twisty narrative fast enough to keep them entertained, and yet still showing restraint when concerning key details. His film may be a little over two and a half hours long, but the direction of most detective fiction, it would seem, is more assured and academically conducted. But, perhaps what stands out the most is Fincher’s brisk pacing.
