A great comedy western !

If you like the classic western comedies, such as Little Big Man, Support Your Local Sheriff, or the more recent Shanghai Noon, you should enjoy this romp through the gambling scene of the Old West. Mel Gibson Takes on James Garner's original role of Maverick from the TV series and Garner himself takes on the role of his father, the crooked sheriff. Jodie Foster takes on the role of Maverick's pretty but clever antagonist and love interest, while bar room fights and high stakes poker games erupt around them, with Alfred Molina's baddie, Angel, giving a suitably menacing performance. James Coburn also delivers a good role as the suitably dishonest riverboat captain, playing host to the biggest poker game of all. The plot has enough twists and turns to keep you guessing, and cameo performances abound in this film, with Graham Greene, Denver Pyle, Danny Glover and Doug McClure to name a few.
A brilliant witty romp, that will stand the test of time as on of the classic Western comedies - Excellent.
