Maverick is an entertaining cowboy comedy that is a reprise of a popular television western which, surprisingly, Richard Donner directs. Viewers who remember the earlier series are brought back by James Garner who played the principal Maverick on television. For the younger generation we have the comedic energy of Mel Gibson and the sparkle of Jodi Foster. This saga is about a poker tournament that has as many plot twists as a Chinese pretzel. Both Garner and James Coburn in one of his last roles bring a certain gravitas to the film. Albert Molina becomes a recognizable face to movie audiences due to his performance as the evil bandito, Angel — now there's a contrast! Jodi Foster is the sly con woman, and Graham Greene again plays a Native American this one with a rather smarmy personality. How does it turnout? I'd be doing you a disservice if I told. It's a fun and entertaining western with an interesting spin on the Maverick role(s). I enjoyed it, I think you will.Read full review
Just a great movie and sort of a remake of the original western tv series. It’s entertaining and funny. Casting to this is superb including James Garner who was in the original TV series many years earlier.

You should seriously purchase this film.....Jodie Foster is absolutely PRICELESS in this movie; her character has to be one of the best examples of intelligent female comedic roles that I've had the pleasure of seeing thus far, and Mel Gibson's role is a mirror to hers in regard to wit and timing. The story line is lots of fun, too. A true masterpiece.... :)
I had seen this movie begore and loved it now i have it in my collection and cn watch it when ever i want.
