TC Candler's Review

A-

Double Belly-Buster...

Gibson turns on the charm, Foster is cuter that ever, the screenplay is fun and original... And all that makes for a great time at the movies.

Why is it that in every poker movie the worst hand that anyone has is either a full house or four of a kind? I play poker for a living and suggest that the average winning hand is probably more like two-pair... but I guess that wouldn't be quite as dramatic as a Royal Flush.

Richard Propes' Comment

Usually, I can see where TC is coming from. I still disagree a lot, but I can at least usually understand his point. But, TC, "Maverick?" An A-? Really? Were you possibly having really great sex while you watched it? Maybe you were wrapped up with Kate Beckinsale so tightly that you didn't quite see the utter and complete stupidity of the entire film? OR maybe you were in some hardcore drug phase of your life? At least stoned? I do admit that it's refreshing to see Jodie Foster smile, but an A-? Yikes, I didn't see that one coming.
