Not really, by today's standards. The fact that Patton carried it, calling it his "killing gun", gives it badass points. Back then the .357 was pretty new and exciting, and a lot more badass, but today, .357 is kind of a mid-ground magnum. You rarely see bad guys in movies carrying a .357 to look the most badass on the block. Hell, even the nameless henchman use them. It's lost its originality over time.
