Maverick (1994)

Second viewing; first viewed on August 14, 1994.

Based on the homonymous TV show created by Roy Huggins. It ran from 1957 to 1962.

A gambler is on his way to a poker tournament which will take place on a riverboat. He does not have the entire amount of the entry fee, so he plans to collect a few debts along the way, and earn the rest through gambling. He has vicious enemies which will do anything to prevent him from entering the tournament.

Western comedy with very lightweight humor, bordering on infantility. As a mild entertainment it works.

Rating: 37 (up from 23)
