I watched this one a lot on DVD when I was younger and it was one of my favorites but this is probably my first re-watch in at least a decade. Overall, it doesn't quite live up to my nostalgic recollection, but there's still plenty to enjoy here. The performances and the humor are the highlights, with some of the story elements and pacing sticking out less favorably. The first two acts feel a little disjointed, with almost stand alone vignettes that are sometimes awkwardly strung together. The finale also has some abrupt/rapid pacing as the movie feels like it skips some material to tack on the last two scenes. I'll keep my legacy 9 rating, but if I watched it for the first time today, this would probably be more like a 7.

Adapted from the hit ‘50s television series, _Maverick_ is a fun and exciting western from director Richard Donner. On his way to the All River’s Draw Poker Championship professional card player Bret Maverick gets into a series of misadventures while trying to collect the last three thousand dollars of his entry fee. Starring Mel Gibson, Jodie Foster, Alfred Molina, and James Garner, the film has a great cast that delivers some really good performances. And the comedy is lighthearted and campy in all the right ways (without being too cute or slapsticky). Also, the fight scenes and chases are energetic and action-packed. A film that the whole family can enjoy, _Maverick_ is entertaining and delivers a lot of laughs.
