Malayalam Movie Download The Gauntlet
Phoenix cop Ben Shockley is well on his way to becoming a derelict when he is assigned to transport a witness named Gus Mally from Vegas. Mally turns out to be a belligerent prostitute with mob ties and incriminating information regarding a high-placed figure. Shockley's suspicions are aroused and the betting line against Mally testifying begins to climb when the transport vehicle is bombed and Mally's house is literally shot to pieces. The pair must face the truth about those they trust, as well as their own inner strengths, as they fight their way to Phoenix, finally using an armored bus to run a gauntlet of hundreds of police armed with high-powered weaponry.
The Gauntlet (1977)
Plot In A Paragraph: A cop (Eastwood) is assigned to escort a prostitute (Sondra Locke) into custody from Las Vegas to Phoenix, so that she can testify in a mob trial. But a lot of people are literally betting that they won't make it into town alive.
Assuming joint actor/director responsibilities for a fifth occasion, Clint Eastwood directed himself and Outlaw Josie Wales costar Sondra Locke in what essentially is a screwball comedy masquerading as an action adventure.
The pacing of the movie is tight, the dialogue cracking with crude insults and snappy banter and the action is well staged too.
Ben Shockley is no Harry Callaghan (even if they both share s downbeat sense of humour and a grumpy temperament) as unlike the dynamic and instinctive Harry Callaghan, who is always in control and always ready for action, Shockley is an underachieving Buffoon, slow on his feet and slow on the uptake, and blind to the corruption in the police force. Sondra Locke so cute and vulnerable in The Outlaw Josie Wales, does a complete turn around as Gus Mally is feisty and foul mouthed. Once again her character is the victim of a sexual assault.
Like Dirty Harry and Kate Moore in The Enforcer, Shockley and Mally are at odds from the start, but slowly and inevitably they earn to each other during the course of the movie.
After a decent sized role in The Outlaw Josey Wales, Malpaso regular Bill McKinney was back to a smaller role as a lewd constable. Pat Hingle also has a small but memorable role as Shockleys former partner and William Prince is fine as Blakelock.
Once again Jerry Fielding (his third Eastwood movie in a row) does a great job of composing the score, and I need to add this movie has a great poster.
The Gauntlet grossed $35 mill at the domestic Box Office to end 1977 as the 14th highest grossing movie of the year. From director Clint Eastwood, I guess the description sounded interesting enough to draw me in, so I watched it. Basically Phoenix cop Ben Shockley (Eastwood) is assigned to Las Vegas to escort prostitute Gus Mally (Sondra Locke) who is meant to testify in a mob trial. Shockley wasn't picked to get the job done, he is unreliable and expendable, and they are constantly in the firing line of not the mob, but the police. The only person who Shockley can talk to about this setup is friend Josephson (Pat Hingle), and until they find a way to stop the authorities trying to kill them, they have to run. They are constantly fired at by gun fire, escape a bombing, get chased on a bike by a helicopter, and end up in an armoured bus with more guns being fired, but they eventually stop arriving at the courthouse. Also starring William Prince as Blakelock, Bill McKinney as Constable, Michael Cavanaugh as Feyderspiel, Carole Cook as Waitress, Mara Corday as Jail Matron, Douglas 'Doug' McGrath as Bookie and Jeff Morris as Desk Sergeant. Locke, who I first saw in Every Which Way But Loose and Any Which Way You Can, is still as irritating as in those, so much so that I am unsure what Eastwood saw in her. He meanwhile is good in his role, there are some small exciting moments, it isn't the most plausible story, but it is an alright action crime drama. Worth watching, at least once!
In a major role reversal, Clint Eastwood stars in The Gauntlet as a person who might be on the receiving end of the violence epitomized in his famed Dirty Harry film series.
