Car trouble leaves ex-hit-man Malone (
Burt Reynolds) in a small valley town, paddling around in an
A-Team plot scenario that's equal parts reliant on the Western genre. The local villain is a ruthless land-buyer named Delaney (
Cliff Robertson), a man who considers himself a true "patriot" of America. If that wasn't enough cliché for military-trained Malone to contend with, his former employees aren't happy to see him leave. There's a mechanic (
Scott Wilson) with a teenage daughter (
Cynthia Gibb), both of whom have a role to play, but it's
Burt that carries it mostly, with a low-key performance that makes up for some pretty standard characterisation and mundane directing.
