Seller was very understanding and courteous with my situation and it was greatly appreciated. He didn't have to accomodate me, as it was my mistake, but he did so....I appreciate it very much!
Maverick is an entertaining cowboy comedy that is a reprise of a popular television western which, surprisingly, Richard Donner directs. Viewers who remember the earlier series are brought back by James Garner who played the principal Maverick on television. For the younger generation we have the comedic energy of Mel Gibson and the sparkle of Jodi Foster.
This saga is about a poker tournament that has as many plot twists as a Chinese pretzel. Both Garner and James Coburn in one of his last roles bring a certain gravitas to the film. Albert Molina becomes a recognizable face to movie audiences due to his performance as the evil bandito, Angel — now there's a contrast! Jodi Foster is the sly con woman, and Graham Greene again plays a Native American this one with a rather smarmy personality.
How does it turnout? I'd be doing you a disservice if I told. It's a fun and entertaining western with an interesting spin on the Maverick role(s). I enjoyed it, I think you will.
I have always enjoyed the Maverick tv show back in the 60's so when they came out with the movie I wanted to add it to my collection. Being that it starred Mel Gibson and the original actor that played Brett Maverick, James Garner I knew it would be an entertaining picture. Also this was one of James Coburn's final films as well.
this is a great movie for mel gibson fans, and poker fans, there are a lot of famous actors in the movie. it is funny, with funny romance AND SOME WESTERN ACTION SHOW DOWNS TO GO WITH IT.
A great gambler movie with a predictable ending to the movie. James Gardners cameo is perfectly placed in a prominet role. One of Mel Gibsons best movies and best roles. Lots and Lots of camoes is this movie also. From Clint Black to Vince Gil among others. Its a classic movie.
Not your typical Mel Gibson movie but let me tell you if you haven't seen it go out and buy it. You will be glad you did. With great plot turn to keep you interested, and enough one liners to warrant watching a dozen times this movie is a classic.
The end is unexpected until the last 20 minutes then you figure it out but it is still a great flick.
I am still trying to summon that ace of spades when I need it like he does though.
I don't own a big collection of movies, I typically watch a movie once and that is enough, but I had to own Maverick. It is a funny feel good movie that you will want to watch over and over, and share with family and friends.
A movie not to be taken too seriously, Maverick is a goofy western about cheats and gamblers competing for the grand prize at a river casino poker tournament. The plot takes many different silly and unexpected turns as Maverick makes his way to the Tournament. It stars Mel Gibson, Jodie Foster, James Garner, James Coburn, Alfred Molina, and cameos by a few actors. Definitely a must have for Mel Gibson fans, or anyone who enjoys a good movie that will make you laugh.
