"The Gauntlet" isn't one of Clint Eastwood's most important films but judged on its own merits, it is an entertaining film. Sandra Locke does well as the witness who is being put into protective custody, so that she can testify against corruption in the police force and in the D.A's office. There follows a long journey for Clint Eastwood and Sandra Locke as they encounter many a danger before they reach the safety of the courts. The action is good in this one.
