Maverick (1994)

Directed by Richard Donner · 2h 7m · 1994

Bret Maverick is a gambler who would rather con someone than fight them, and needs an additional $3k in order to enter a winner-takes-all poker game beginning in a few days. He joins forces with a woman with a marvelous Southern accent, and the two try and enter the game.

Our read: Maverick (1994) (1994) reads as a cosy, kinetic, grounded western · comedy entry — measured in intensity, intimate in scope, measured in temperature, redemptive in outlook.
