Rating:  - A Maverick Named Maverick
Charming and hazardous card player Bret Maverick makes his way to a big poker championship, with a half million dollar prize up for grabs. And he has competition from the clunning Annabelle Brandsford, who he meets on the way there. Another contender is the sheriff Zane Coburn, frown-faced gun-slinger Angel and others. The catch is that before the championship, everyone has to put up 25 thousand dollars.
Rating:  - "Maverick"--horrible DVD transfer
My review is limited to the picture and sound quality of the DVD transfer. The movie itself is fine--great cast, very funny--5 stars for the movie, 0 stars for the DVD quality. The transfer of this film to DVD is one of the worst that I have seen! The picture quality is quite poor, very grainy and almost out of focus. It seems that it was copied from a VHS version of the movie. The movie was made in 1994--it's not that old! This otherwise good movie deserves much better treatmenet than this.
Rating: - Where's Bart?
Maverick DVD
Mel Gibson stars as a bumbling gambler who is trying to join a poker game. The movie is based on a TV series. Jodie Foster co-stars as does James Gardner who was in the original TV series, as Bret, I believe. Bart was his Brother. Highly recommended for fans of Mel Gibson and Jodie Foster and fans of the original TV series.

Rating: - Better than the TV series
If you like Mel Gibson, James Garner or Jodie Foster, you'll probably love this movie. All 3 get ample screentime and all their charcters are lovable rogues. This has only a slight link to the TV series as Mel Gibson plays Maverick, a gambler with same type of character as the TV series. This is a western comedy. This has adult situation scenes I would not like my 7 year old grandson to see but no nudity.
Rating: - GREAT ACTING ALL AROUND!
Great movie. I saw it when it came out in the early '90's. A really fun movie. Just wanted to add it to my 'Jodie Foster' collection. 8}
