Starred in The Dead Pool

The Dead Pool is the fifth and final installment in the Dirty Harry film series, featuring Clint Eastwood in the lead role. The film includes notable co-stars such as Patricia Clarkson, Liam Neeson, and a young Jim Carrey, who portrays Johnny Squares, a drug-addicted rock star and one of the film's initial victims. The plot revolves around a list of celebrities targeted by a horror film director, Peter Swan, which adds a layer of intrigue and suspense to the narrative. Despite its connection to the popular Dirty Harry franchise, The Dead Pool is often regarded as the weakest entry in the series, receiving mixed reviews from critics and audiences alike. Financially, the film performed moderately well, grossing nearly $38 million, which reflects a solid box office performance but does not match the success of its predecessors. The film's unique blend of action and dark humor, along with its commentary on celebrity culture, has contributed to its status as a notable, if not critically acclaimed, part of the Dirty Harry legacy.
