Exploring the United States in his precious '69 Mustang after his retirement, former CIA assassin Richard Malone (Burt Reynolds) breaks down in a small Oregonian town. He has to cool his heels while his car is being repaired, and it isn't long before Malone starts noticing a string of disturbing events in this not-so-normal rural community. It turns out a local crime boss (Cliff Robertson) believes Malone was sent to kill him, which isn't true. At least not initially.

What is it about a Burt Reynolds movie these days that gives you the feeling of having seen it before, once or a dozen times?

One of the many pile-on duds that continued Burt Reynolds’ slide from Hollywood king to a VHS rental afterthought.

A little wisecracking might have done this movie a world of good.

Malone is simply unable to hold one's interest for more than a few minutes at a time...

Burt is in top form in this predictable, but watchable modernization of Shane.

Malone is a disappointing film. It is about an ex-C.I.A. hitman running from his past. Burt Reynolds and Cliff Robertson give terrible performances. The screenplay is badly written. Harley Cokeliss did a horrible job directing this movie. I was not impressed with this motion picture.

Quite easily enjoyable. There are better Reynolds films but this one cuts it if you're new to his style.
