Even with these refinements, The Enforcer still has enough violence to retain its mass appeal. Violence still wins out, and the criminals are painted not as dedicated ideological revolutionaries but as the debris of society, turning to terrorism as a last resort. All the people they kill are the good guys, while Harry & Co.'s victims are the bad guys. And Harry still retains that smug irritating demeanor and quick wit that has endeared him to millions...
