In conclusion, this movie could have been a lot better that it was but due to a number of circumstances it turned out to be an fairly average Burt Reynolds thriller. Funny squirrel stick em up pictures with guns full. The ending was a bit weak.i don't think it was originally intended to be like that - i haven't read the book, so i could be wrong but again we had ill Burt in this scene. The sub-standard are the poor editing, healthy Burt, v.ill 's very obvious.Some of the action scenes,especially where sticks stops and waits for mo-key to catch up? the training sequences - why show that, is this Rocky.bit of vanity for Mr Reynolds there i think. Other good scenes are when Stick has to remove the ex-driver from the party ('now say goodnight' as he poured gasoline over his face and flicks out a lighter), the mo-key death scene (a superb stunt and not bettered for many years),the scenes with Candice Bergen and Burt (i thought they quite effective). The Richard Ramirez, known as the Night Stalker was an American serial killer. The good are the first 15 minutes,especially the scene with Mokey,Rainy and Stick in the van - nice tense atmosphere in the van, well directed. As it stands, I think Stick has some very good moments and some very sub-standard moments. It would be very interesting to see the original cut as Reynolds intended - i'm certain it would have ended up being a far better movie than the result we got. This creates a very disjointed look and obviously doesn't help the film at all. As a result, we have a number of scenes where Reynolds is markedly thinner than in other scenes. By this time though, Reynolds had lost a lot of weight due to the TMJ problems and was clearly neither in the physical or mental state to shoot these extra scenes. Reynolds did not want to make an all out action film but the studios panicked and asked for re-shoots. However, the film as a character piece may well have been quite interesting and judging by the first 15 minutes which were excellent,less studio meddling would have more beneficial in this case.

Native to parts of Canada and Mexico as well as the eastern half of the United States, including Texas, Missouri, and Florida, and New York. However, this movie was supposed to have been released in 1984 and initial filming (judging by many scenes) indicate Reynolds was in good health. Another user has already pointed out that Reynolds was suffering with TMJ at the time of the release and had a few flops before hand, so his star was on the wane. Whilst some of the comments are fair, I think it's important to take into context the life of this film. Having read some of the comments from other users and some of the reviews, this film has come in for some criticism. ![]()
