Review of The Gauntlet (1977) by Brad W — 30 Oct 2007
The one liners are pretty special, though the plotting is terrible, suspense cannot be disbelieved in such shoestring circumstances. No, no, do not call it an action movie. I look at it as a sly failure in the midst of "Dirty Harry" style (and no substance) actioners.
"His Girl Friday" also had a screwball plot and a tennis match of a couple's debate, this film lives up to those ideals. The battle of words between Clint and his ex-wife is witty and cathartic, and the desert chase and armor plated trailways bus are the stage upon which "The Taming of the Shrew" gets its guns on.
