Review of Maverick (2015) by Christopher C — 13 Jan 2009
A wonderfully fun western from director Richard Donner and stars Mel Gibson, Jodi Foster and James Garner; this movie perfectly captures the goofball charm of the original television series from Roy Huggins.
The movie also boasts terrific appearances by James Coburn and Alfred Molina as the two villains attempting to prevent Brett Maverick (Gibson) from entering a high-stakes poker tournament.This truly funny comedy features a great cameo by Danny Glover which fully acknowledges the "Lethal Weapon" connection and a twist ending that I didn't see coming, but made perfect sense once a major revelation regarding the relationship between two characters is revealed.
Good fun.
