The Gauntlet - Clint Eastwood 1977 Eng Subs 720... [Deluxe ◎]
One of the most distinctive elements of The Gauntlet is its incredible soundtrack, composed by the legendary Jerry Fielding. Rather than a traditional orchestral score, Fielding delivered a brooding, bittersweet, and propulsive blend of "crime jazz" that many consider one of the best action movie soundtracks ever recorded.
Ben Shockley is not Dirty Harry. He isn't exceptionally smart, he isn't a sharpshooter, and he is easily fooled. He is a gullible pawn who has to rely on his witness's brains to survive.

The Gauntlet (1977): Clint Eastwood’s Explosive, Underappreciated Road Movie Masterpiece
You cannot talk about The Gauntlet without discussing its final twenty minutes. Trapped in an armored commercial bus custom-fitted with steel plating, Shockley and Mally drive straight down the main street of Phoenix toward City Hall. Waiting for them is a literal gauntlet of hundreds of police officers armed with shotguns, rifles, and pistols. He isn't exceptionally smart, he isn't a sharpshooter,
Shockley believes he is picking up a "nothing witness" for a "nothing trial".
Audiences searching for high-quality versions of the film with English subtitles (often tagged online as 702p or 1080p BluRay ) are treated to a distinct visual era of filmmaking. Photographed by cinematographer Rexford L. Metz, The Gauntlet features the gorgeous, warm anamorphic lens flares, gritty shadows, and dusty desert landscapes characteristic of 1970s Hollywood.
Upon its release in December 1977, The Gauntlet was a major commercial hit, grossing over $26 million at the box office (a massive sum at the time). While some contemporary critics were taken aback by its implausible, high-damage action sequences, retrospective reviews have been incredibly kind.
The mission immediately proves to be anything but simple. Mally is a sharp-witted, college-educated prostitute who tells Shockley that the contract out on her life is from someone very powerful. The mob has sixty-to-one odds against her reaching Phoenix alive. Shockley soon realizes that not only are the mobsters after them, but corrupt police officers within his own department are actively trying to kill them before they can reach the courthouse, creating a "gauntlet" of violence they must run. 2.
