Talk:The Gauntlet (film)

Er...
"Shockley's suspicions are roused when the transport vehicle is bombed and Mally's house is fired upon." Surely not! Rich Farmbrough

"Judith Keil" ?
I presume that this is a transliteration of both those famous lady film critic Eastwood-bashers Judith Crist and Pauline Kael. I wonder which one actually provided the quote? 86.20.55.243 19:59, 16 July 2006 (UTC)Graeme
 * I agree. The article reads as follows:
 * Eastwood's long time nemesis Pauline Kael called it "a tale varnished with foul language and garnished with violence". Judith Crist of the New York Post wrote that the film was "a mindless compendium of stale plot and stereotyped characters varnished with foul language and garnished with violence".
 * Surely P. Kael and J. Crist did not both say the very same thing about this film ("varnished with foul language and garnished with violence"). Has anyone found any reliable sources? Otherwise, they will both have to go. --Oulipal (talk) 22:31, 25 November 2012 (UTC)

Doh!
Just caught what has got to be one of the dumbest last scenes ever. The police fire at the bus from all directions; I guess they weren't worried about shooting each other, even though they're practically shoulder to shoulder. Also, when Shockley is shot and Malley grabs a gun and kills his assailant, dozens of officers within arm's reach just stand around watching. Clarityfiend 04:04, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Critical Reception
I added an Ebert quote to balance out the negative criticism from Ms. Keil. I also added the IMDb rating and RottenTomatoes.com percentage. Any other examples of balanced feedback are welcome.
