Maverick (DVD, 1997, Standard and letterbox)

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.

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.

You should seriously purchase this film.....Jodie Foster is absolutely PRICELESS in this movie; her character has to be one of the best examples of intelligent female comedic roles that I've had the pleasure of seeing thus far, and Mel Gibson's role is a mirror to hers in regard to wit and timing. The story line is lots of fun, too. A true masterpiece.... :)

Im going to keep this short and sweet. If you HAVENT seen Maverick, you NEED to. One of the best Mel Gibson movies ever. Fini

been looking for ever in the stores at home for this movie found on ebay and had it in a few days. there was no trouble in billing or shipping will buy again form seller

LIKED THE PRICE. I WAS REPLACING A LOST LIBRARY. ON THE DOWN SIDE I WOULD LIKE TO SEE BUYERS GET A BREAK ON SHIPPING WHEN BUYING MULTIPLE ITEMS

Don't know, Still haven't received it! I received it nearly a month after I ordered it. It had been damaged in the mail. So I sent an E-mail to the seller telling them about how badly damaged it was upon it's arrival. I also suggested that they might have a case against the post office, and that I would be returning the item. They replied that they would send a replacement as soon as they received it. That was 5-9-09, I haven't heard anything from them since!!

i watched it when i was a kid, like james garner in almost anything he does, trying to get more maverick an rockford

this is a good movie about gambling and women. it is pretty funny and whitty. it makes you want to bust out a bottle of whiskey and play poker.

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!

This is my boyfriends favorite movie so i got it for his birthday. Thanks for the fast shipping and great packaging.

A excellent comedy/western. Mel Gibson is great playing his part as Maverick. the movie as a whole is great entertainment.

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.
