The Gauntlet
(1977)
Director: Clint Eastwood
Starring: Clint Eastwood, Sondra Locke, Pat Hingle
our comment. "Oh! Clint baby, can I show my breasts in your movie..."
When an Arizona cop attempts to return a witness, a tough-talking prostitute, he learns that every killer in Las Vegas is out to get rid of her (actually they're only around eight). In order to stay alive, the grizzled cop travels by car, motorcycle and finally in a fortified bus.

Little suspense and a flat script, combined with uninteresting characters leave this film too uninvolving for most. And by the way, whatever happened to the orang-utan, Clint!
