[edit] Er...

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

[edit] "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

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:The gauntlet.jpg

Image:The gauntlet.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
