If you loved The First Great Train Robbery, try The Gauntlet
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Theysit in Crime / Drama / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to The First Great Train Robbery, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Gauntlet is
A Vegas bus station at 3 a.m., neon dripping like cheap perfume. Two mismatched travelers board: a hungover cop in a rumpled uniform, a cigarette dangling unlit. The ride back becomes a high-speed gauntlet of neon, bullets, and betrayal. Eastwood’s gritty cautionary tale sours quicker than cheap whiskey.
