David (Warren Kole) who is a Boston cop awakens in place that is a bit like purgatory. He is joined by other people, Jin (Dustin Nguyen) Emma (Jaime Ray Newman) Tyler (Nick Lane) , Anna (Murielle Telio) and Kim Lee (Bai Ling) who provides us with token eye candy.
Tat from start to finish! There is no story, no sense to anyone's actions, they just bumble along boring the viewer.
With how bad this movie is.The movie start well, the setup is intriguing.
In a sunken castle, 5 people awaken with little to no memory of how they got there. They quickly learn that they are being tested and find that they must band together to try to figure out how to escape.
THE GAUNTLET is a would-be horror/adventure film that seems to have been shot in somebody's basement. Certainly the film has about 10% of the kind of lighting you normally see in a B-movie and as it's a single location flick too it just consists of five actors hanging around in the dark while somebody feeds them their dialogue.
The Gauntlet. A handful of strangers, all of whom have previously killed, find themselves trapped in a deadly and mysterious building.
I'm sure there are some people who will be convinced this movie contains some sort of hidden truths, but I'm not. There's almost no plot, not much dialogue and we learn very little about the characters - worse, we don't care about any of them anyway.
