Actor, composer, and filmmaker, Clint Eastwood, is one of the last surviving stars of the tail end of Hollywood's Golden Age and has headlined some of the greatest films of all time, including The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, Unforgiven, and Dirty Harry.
In the political thriller, Absolute Power, Eastwood's character is an intriguing paradox who, despite his criminal history, still has a moral compass and values law and order. While he wants to clear his name, he is willing to sacrifice his freedom if it means that his loved ones, particularly his estranged daughter, Kate, played by Laura Linney, are unharmed and safe.
Initially, Kowlaski isn't a very likable character and has a racist mindset towards the minorities who he believes are overrunning his home, but as his character develops throughout the film, he becomes an admirable man who is willing to admit that he was wrong. Another redeeming quality about Kowalski is his relationship with Thao. He is almost a father figure to the boy and saves him from a life of crime and gang violence.
Eastwood takes on the role of Jed Cooper, who initially is a man of the law and strives to ensure that his employers don't regret their decision to offer him a job. As Cooper realizes that the men won't go quietly, he has to get creative and still enforce his authority without crossing the line that could cost him his badge.
The thrilling tale of revenge and redemption, The Outlaw Josey Wales, is another Eastwood character who initially has nothing to lose, but as he starts a new life in Texas, he meets a group of people he is willing to go to his grave for to ensure their safety. Wales has a rebellious streak that some might not understand, but at a time when law and order cease to exist, he's at least picking his battles with the people who deserve it and not slaughtering innocent families.
2 Harry Callahan 'Dirty Harry' Eastwood stars in one of his signature roles in Dirty Harry as Detective Harry Callahan who, after apprehending a young girl's sadistic kidnappers, is livid when the man is let go after it's discovered that Callahan abused his civil rights by roughing him up.
