| Leonard Maltin/Plot synopsis: |
Lackadaisical update of the fondly remembered 60s TV show relies heavily on personal charm to carry a thin storyline that moseys along much too slowly--and much too long. Gibson is fun as a wily cardsharp on his way to a big-stakes poker game, and the cast is peppered with familiar faces from the world of vintage TV Westerns and contemporary country music; look for a couple of cameos by stars of earlier movies from director Donner. Garner, who starred in the old TV series, is cast here as a marshal. Script by William Goldman. Panavision.
