A hard but mediocre cop is assigned to escort a prostitute 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.
In Phoenix, the alcoholic and mediocre detective Ben Shockley is assigned by the Chief Commissary Blakelock to bring the witness Gus Mally from Las Vegas for a minor trial. Shockley travels to Vegas and finds that Gus Mally is an aggressive and intelligent prostitute with a college degree and she tells him that the odds are against her showing up in court. Shockley learns that she will actually testify against a powerful mobster and the mafia is chasing them trying to kill them both. He calls Blakelock and request a police escort from Phoenix to protect them. But soon he discovers that someone is betraying him in the police department. Now, Shockley and Malley hijack a bus and Shockley welds thick steel plates and transforms the cabin in an armored bus trying to reach the Forum. But they will need to drive through a gauntlet of police officers armed with heavy weapons.
First, I have NEVER liked Eastwood as an actor. Only because I have never considered him as well. From the very beginning he used to play almost the same characters, the lonely and nameless hero, justice lover, with an inexpressive face, with nearly no dialogue at all, the perfect guy who ALWAYS make it, without a scratch. Thanks to Sergio Leone... I hate that, at a scale you can't even imagine. Only in THE BEGUILED, WHITE HUNTER - as far as I remember - and GRAN TORINO, he dies at the end...Of course, he was great in BRONCO BILLY and BRIDGES OF MADISON COUNTY...

In his first part of career as a director, with the exception of PLAY MITSY FOR ME, he was a lousy film maker. Nothing to do with the second part, with masterpieces such as FLAGS OF OUR FATHERS and LETTERS FROM IWO JIMA and some other features.

Back to THE GAUNTLET, it's a corny movie to me. The film for the actual life - unmarried - couple Eastwood - Locke; a sort of equivalent of LOVE AND BULLETS for Charles Bronson and Jill Ireland. And with nearly the same story !!!

And besides, if you know the actual Eastwood character - after reading the unauthorized biography written about him by Patrick Mac Gilligan - you'll agree to say that he was a disgusting and selfish man who never let anyone alive around him to suggest anything which may have improved the quality of a film. He was nearly a tyrant on the set...

I'll stop here.

But, Eastwood fortunately got better after all these years. It remains although that many of his first decades as an actor and director were not so good to me. So, what we have here is an mildly entertaining action film that is simply brainless fluff. Because everything about it is so over-the-top that its just stupid and repetitive. I enjoy watching Clint Eastwood, but really... just give me Dirty Harry and I will watch that film again. Eastwood basically slums about in his role, but Sondra Locke gave a fun performance and spat out some hilarious dialogue. The staged action scenes are very shoddy, but still rather amusing because they are just outrageous. The way it plays about it seems like all of America is trying to stop the two from getting to their destination. Just who is on their side?

It's trashy with it's many faults, but still highly watchable. It's just like watching a car accident take place. For all its violence - the movie has an almost fetishistic fascination with the destructive power of gunfire - the mayhem in The Gauntlet is as harmless as a comic book. You don't believe a minute of it, but at the end of the quest, it's hard not to chuckle and cheer. [02 Jan 1978, p.59]
