Maverick Reviews

To be honest, it has been since I have seen this flick and maybe I should re-watch it at some point. In fact, if I recall it correctly, I actually saw this one in the movie theater and I thought it was actually a decent watch. The recent flop of ‘The Lone Rang’ a few years ago has displayed once again that the Western must be one of the least popular genres nowadays. I mean, it is not that all the Westerns have been bad during the last 30 years, some of them were actually pretty awesome, but I’m pretty sure that not more than 5 of them have been really successful at the box-office. Well, this flick was one of the very few Westerns which managed such a thing and I thought it was fairly entertaining. To be honest, I wasn’t really familiar with the TV-show it was based on but it was just really neat to see Mel Gibson and Richard Donner working together again but , at last, for something else than another ‘Lethal Weapon’ installment. Back in those days, Mel Gibson was still one of the biggest movie stars in the world and I thought he was really charismatic here and he had also some very nice chemistry with Jodie Foster. To conclude, even though it was nothing really amazing, it was still a fun flick and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
