Maverick—Mel Gibson, Jodie Foster, and James Garner—delivers terrific comedy
via an exceptionally well-written script with outstanding dialogue. Watch for the
legendary actor, Graham Greene. With an outstanding supporting cast (Afred
Molina, James Coburn, Art LaFleur, Denver Pyle, Clint Black, and Dub Taylor),
the movie moves into first class entertainment despite the fact that it bases
itself within the western genre. It easily earns its right to addition to the
home video collection as it can be multiply viewed throughout the years without
losing its entertainment edge. This witty movie serves the adult entertainment
community well.
