The Gauntlet. They used at least 300-thousand-million bullets in this film. It’s not the best Clint Eastwood movie I’ve seen, not by a long shot, but I went in with appropriate expectations. It’s just a fun and highly ridiculous road trip movie with a loser cop and a clever prostitute. We need more helicopter chases in movies. Interesting parallels with Frank Capra’s It Happened One Night. Check out that promo poster!
My updated rankings for Eastwood’s directing:
- Unforgiven
- Gran Torino
- Million Dollar Baby
- Mystic River (or maybe tied for third)
- The Outlaw Josey Wales
- Changeling
- Play Misty for Me
- The Gauntlet
- High Plains Drifter
- Bird
- Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil
