Maverick
In their hands, a deck of cards was the only thing more dangerous than a gun.
Maverick is rollicking proof of how the West was fun. A riverboat poker tourney promises a winner-take-all $500,000... and Bret Maverick aims to be the winner who does the taking! But first he must cope with the hangman's noose, a runaway stage, a wily Indian chief, outlaws, ingrates, a bagful of rattlesnakes and more close calls than a long-tailed cat in a roomful of rocking chairs.

Great movie! I must have watched it over 20 times. It's easy going, no nonsense, clean entertainment. Mel Gibson is really good: the lines come out very naturally and although it's a basic plot, it still keeps you guessing.
I love it to the point where I even watch it when it airs on television (eventhough I have it on DVD!)
5 starsThe end makes the whole movie :) - imagination201
The cast is great, the story is intriguing, and the twists and turns of the plot can give you a headache, but nothing is as satisfying in this movie as the final twist that is revealed at its end :) It gives a whole other meaning to the rest of the movie, as well as make us wish there was move of it :)
As far as comedy go, I have seen better, but in terms of western action, it is a very respectable movie and the actors keep us watching their great performances.

Maverick is one of those movies that I can't help but watch whenever it is on. It is fun, the story is great and the scenery is exceelent.
All of the characters really make this movie work. They are all over the top personalities and a lotof the side stories are just as good as the main plot. The way it all comes together at the end is fantastic. Even the cheesy happy ending fits perfectly with the spirit of the movie.
I'm trying to think of a negative and I honestly can't. This is just a well done, fun movie that had multiple stories that come together in an excellent poker game. A must watch!
