Clint Eastwood is a down-and-out cop who is sent on a routine mission to pick up a witness and deliver her to the Phoenix courthouse. Sounds easy until he realizes he's been set up by the man who gave him this simple assignment. The interplay between Eastwood and the witness, a clever prostitute played by the actor's former girlfriend, Sondra Locke, is tough and playful. They obviously had strong chemistry. The story is highly implausible at times, but the action sequences are satisfying. Eastwood directs IThe Gauntlet/I very much in the style of his Academy Award-winning Western IUnforgiven/I. Although the body count is surprisingly low for an Eastwood action film, a house, several cars, and a large bus get shot through with more holes than a big wheel of Swiss cheese. For Eastwood fans, this is the laconic hero at his prime. I--Richard Natale/I

 A Trifle Disappointed November 3, 2008
Benedict J. Likens (Whiting, IN USA)
I've loved "The Gauntlet" from the first time I saw it many years ago. I was very happy when it was released on Blu-ray, as I felt that the original DVD released was in need of a few improvements. The picture looks very good, but I was not happy with the audio. For all the bullets that are flying, and for all the noisy destruction that takes place throughout this wonderful movie, the Blu-ray audio doesn't do it justice. I expected more surround and, frankly, more noise and aural mayhem, but the disc just didn't quite have these things, and that's a shame. I'm still happy that I bought it, but I'm a bit disappointed with the sound.
 GREAT! October 3, 2008
Movie Fan
This is a great Clint Eastwood movie. There is action from the beginning to end. It's also a great transfer to Blu Ray. If you are a Clint Eastwood fan you will get this movie.
 Great Looking Remaster on Blu-Ray September 12, 2008
Michael A. Anderson
This catalog remaster is superb! Looks like it came out recently, not 30 years ago. No frills or extras, but kudos to Warner Bros for keeping the price low. The movie gets 3 stars, the disc gets 4 as there are no extras. br / br /Warner Bros - give us The Outlaw Josie Wales and North by Northwest on Blu-ray - soon!
