considered by many to be a post-modern take on the dirty harry style of detective drama, the gauntlet is very much a guilty pleasure. loosely remade a few years back as 16 blocks, a bruce willis vehicle, the gauntlet tells the story of a deadbeat cop given the task of transporting an important witness from location to location.
the poster above pretty much indicates the nature of the film, but in all honesty it actually lets the film down in one respect, as it barely does justice in getting the quality of the film across. its a great deal of fun.
P.S i think this film may hold the record for most bullets fired in a film. the final shootout is beyond crazy, putting to shame the sort of modern day action theatrics seen in films like "wanted" or the like.
