“In their hands, a deck of cards was the only thing more dangerous than a gun.”

Richard Donner's 'Maverick' is a breezy Western comedy reuniting him with Mel Gibson, who plays the charming card-sharp Bret Maverick scrambling to raise a stake for a high-dollar poker tournament. Jodie Foster and James Garner, star of the original TV series, join the fun as fellow grifters trading double-crosses along the way. Loose, good-natured and full of twists, it prioritizes banter over grit. A solid crowd-pleaser adapted from the classic show, it remains an enjoyable throwback to old-fashioned Hollywood adventure.
