Maverick(1994)
Ante up - for laughter and action aplenty! Mel Gibson is sly gambler Bret Maverick, Jodie Foster is a charming scam artist and James Garner is a laid-back lawman in this crowd-pleaser that deals you a winning hand. A riverboat poker tourney promises a winner-take-all $500,000 - and Bret aims to be the winner who does the taking! But first he must cope with the hangman's noose, a runaway stage, a wily Indian chief, outlaws, ingrates, rattlesnakes and more close calls than a long-tailed cat in a roomful of rocking chairs. Under the wily direction of Richard Donner, these jokers are wild! For more about Maverick and the Maverick Blu-ray release, see the Maverick Blu-ray Review published by Martin Liebman on June 15, 2011 where this Blu-ray release scored 2.5 out of 5. Starring: Mel Gibson, Jodie Foster, James Garner, Graham Greene (I), Alfred Molina, James Coburn Director: Richard Donner » See full cast & crew Maverick Blu-ray, Video QualityMaverick rides onto Blu-ray with a mixed-bag 1080p high definition transfer that satisfies in spots but proves to be a letdown in others. The image is decidedly dim and flat. Of course the limited color scheme that favors dusty brown interiors and sandy tan exteriors doesn't help, but even the occasional splash of brighter colors comes across as dull and visually uninteresting. Detailing is adequate at the transfer's very best, but clothing and facial textures, not to mention the many more nitty-gritty elements around the old-west frame, often don't pass for much more than a strong standard definition upconvert. Fortunately, Warner has left intact a fine layer of film grain that does accentuate the image and lends to it a fair cinematic texture, but the end result is somewhat lessened by a large number of annoyances, including wobbly opening titles, blocky skies, noticeable but generally unobtrusive edge halos, harsh blacks, orange flesh tones, and a smattering of soft and smeary shots. Maverick looks okay at a glance, but even less-than-demanding viewers will be fairly quick to notice the transfer's overt shortcomings. Maverick Blu-ray, Audio QualityWarner Brothers presents Maverick on Blu-ray with a halfway decent DTS-HD MA 2.0 lossless soundtrack. Despite the absence of a fuller soundstage, this track carries the film's load with relative ease, conveying a fine sense of space, energy, and clarity in the delivery of the film's score and Country music. The track effortlessly spreads out to the limits of the front speakers, of course never engulfing the listener but adequately and often pleasantly delivering every note with relative ease. Rarely does music sound underpowered, confined, or otherwise not fully realized, even without the added benefit of surround support. Sound effects -- stampeding horses, gunfire -- are nicely potent if not a little bit dumbed down, but music and dialogue carry the day throughout the picture, and the latter is certainly handled strongly up the middle, the track delivering every syllable with the effortlessness expected of a competent lossless soundtrack. Maverick's soundtrack doesn't go all-in, but it smartly and sufficiently plays the hand it's been dealt. Maverick: Other Editions
