Review of The Gauntlet (1977) by Jim L — 14 Jun 2006
Theatre of the absurd - Clint-style. This fast-paces, mindless, silly film always remains true to itself, and succeds on its terms. Escessive violence is used as a metaphor for absurdity. William Prince and his protege who plays Federspiel are two of most memorable malevolent bureaucrats in film history.
Supporting cast memeber are all in on the joke, and play it for all its worth - even usually uptight Sondra Locke scores wonderfully in this one.
