Synopsis
A gunslinging con man develops a tricky scheme to make a killing at a major poker tournament in this comic Western inspired by the popular television show. Mel Gibson assumes the role of Bret Maverick, the handsome rogue who hopes to cheat his way to success. In need of a large stake to enter a major card competition on a Louisiana steamboat, Maverick decides to take advantage of a few small-town poker players. These include the seemingly sweet Annabelle Bransford (Jodie Foster) and the intimidating Angel (Alfred Molina), neither of whom is too happy about their loss. Things become even more complicated for Maverick when the law gets involved, with Marshal Zane Cooper (James Garner, who played the role of Maverick in the original television series) giving chase. A series of stagecoach chases, complicated cons, and gun battles ensues, with Annabelle and Maverick finding time for plenty of flirtation along the way. ~ Judd Blaise, All Movie Guide
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com essential video
The joined-at-the-hip team of director Richard Donner and star Mel Gibson (all the Lethal Weapon movies and Conspiracy Theory) had obvious fun resurrecting the Wild Western comedy television series about a roguish rambler-gambler. Gibson assumes the role of cardsharp Bret Maverick, equally quick with a pair of aces and a pair of guns. Good sport James Garner (who played Maverick on TV) takes another role, as a lawman who travels alongside the hero to a big-money poker game on a riverboat. The real peach in this fruit salad of satire and broad jokes, however, is Jodie Foster, who plays a crafty Southern belle quite adept at poker herself. Sexy, funny, and (from the onscreen evidence) a great kisser, Foster has never been more of a delight. Written by William Goldman (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid). The DVD release offers production notes, optional French and Spanish soundtracks, and optional full-screen or widescreen viewing. --Tom Keogh
From The New Yorker
Richard Donner\'s big-screen version of the popular TV Western series of the fifties couldn\'t be called a travesty of a classic, because the original show was itself resolutely un-classic-a genial revisionist take on the genre. The series\' hero, Bret Maverick (then played by James Garner), wasn\'t a paragon of rugged integrity or two-fisted masculinity, but a slick, witty, suspiciously well-dressed gambler, whose pained reluctance to do what a man\'s gotta do was the show\'s richest source of comedy. The new Bret Maverick (Mel Gibson) is still a charmer, but an antsy, wild-eyed, motormouthed one, like the deranged daredevil cop that Gibson plays in the \"Lethal Weapon\" pictures. The whole movie has a frantic quality that seems a poor substitute for the original\'s sly, relaxed humor. There are a few laughs, but the picture feels awfully long, because almost everyone is trying too hard: the few performers who aren\'t, like James Coburn and Garner himself (on hand to play straight man to the star), come off best. At a couple of points, Garner has to remind Gibson not to \"babble,\" and the dry old pro gets his laugh so effortlessly that it\'s impossible not to take his side. Also with Jodie Foster, Graham Greene, and Alfred Molina. -Terrence Rafferty

-> Trama <-
Bret Maverick (Mel Gibson) è un abile giocatore di poker che decide di partecipare ad un torneo per vincere 500.000 $. Non avendo a disposizione tutti i soldi necessari a pagare la quota di iscrizione, decide di andare a cercare una serie di amici suoi debitori, ma la sua vita si incrocia con quella di un\'altra giocatrice di poker Annabelle Bransford (Jodie Foster), donna irresistibile, che sfrutta il proprio fascino per ingannare gli uomini e derubarli di tutti i loro averi.
Nel loro viaggio verso il luogo in cui si terrà il torneo, vengono affiancati dallo sceriffo Zane Cooper (James Garner) che alla fine del film risulterà poi essere anche il padre di Maverick.

Il regista Richard Donner e Mel Gibson avevano già lavorato insieme nei primi film della serie Arma Letale (il quarto, e per il momento ultimo, film della saga è arrivato nel 1997). Proprio per celebrare questo lungo sodalizio, e per fare un tributo alla propria collaborazione, nel film \"Maverick\" c\'è anche un breve cammeo di Danny Glover che in Arma Letale interpretava il compagno di Gibson, Roger Murtaugh. In Maverick, Glover interpreta la parte di un rapinatore di banche che alla vista di Gibson rimane per un attimo interdetto; i due si scrutano come se si conoscessero (il parallelo è sottolineato anche dal sottofondo musicale che fa anche parte della colonna sonora di Arma Letale), poi la scena finisce con la fuga di Glover che ripete una delle più celebri battute del film Arma letale:
« Sono troppo vecchio per queste stronzate! »
