The Gauntlet Full Movie Hd 720p Free Download
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.
STAR RATING: ***** Unmissable **** Very Good *** Okay ** You Could Go Out For A Meal Instead * Avoid At All Costs
Ben Shockley (Clint Eastwood) is a washed-up, typically loose cannon (well, he would be played by Eastwood!) detective whose best mate goes by the name of Jack Daniels (if you know what I mean!) who gets assigned to transport a volatile prostitute named Gus (Sondra Locke) across state to testify in a trial. Of course, some people, namely in the shape of the mob and some crooked cops, aren't having this and decide to give them a hard time about it. Cue the typical explosions, gun-fights and general mayhem that you all payed to see...
Legendary British film critic Barry Norman once stated that, among his many fallings-out with many famous, high-profile Hollywood stars (including the likes of Robert De Niro and John Wayne!), he actually made friends with Clint Eastwood by providing him with some refreshing frank honesty as opposed to all the pompous butt-kissing he was used to receiving from the publicists and hangers-on around him. When he asked Norman what his feelings were having just watched a preview of The Gauntlet in his professional capacity as a critic, obviously expecting another delivery of 'yeah, Clint, it was great, you're fantastic', he was instead hit with the blunt truthful opinion: "yeah, it was okay, but it was a bit preposterous." And I can see what he means...
Thinking about it, I actually think Eastwood's enduring longitivity has been down to how safe he is. He'd dedicated to the art of film-making, plain and simple. He goes into the studio, he directs, he acts and he produces, whatever...Some of his work with the legendary Malpaso company has been great, others not so great, which this dross is certainly an example of. It opens deceptively well and promises another great Eastwood film to come, but as events roll on, the absurdity of the plot and the predictability of the script wear you down so much that boredom rears it's ugly head and you're tempted to switch it off before it's reached the end. I love the guy, but some good action scenes are sadly not enough to make this a script Clint should have chose not to pick. ** Ben Shockley (Clint Eastwood) is a drunken wasted Phoenix police detective. Commissioner Blakelock assigns him a nothing job to transport prisoner Gus Mally (Sondra Locke) to Vegas. She is sure that she is getting assassinated. Shockley dismisses her and has her tied up to be transported by ambulance. There are car bomb and gunfire. Gus is a prostitute with mob ties and incriminating information on highly placed people. They're being hunted by both criminals and police alike.
Sondra Locke is great at being spunky. She and Eastwood have always been a combustible couple just like in their real life. They're great together. This is a lot of gun action. It is action-filled and playing to the cheap seats. The simplistic story doesn't pass most logic test. This is a good movie to stuff your face with popcorn at all the action as long as one don't think too much. However, the last scene is so preposterous that it leaves a bitter taste with the popcorn. The cops are literally standing around in a circle while people are shot to death. It could have been a pass if the last scene is staged better. You look at the screen even though there's nothing to occupy your mind--the way you sometimes sit in front of the TV, numbly, because you can't rouse yourself for the effort it takes to go to bed.
