Christopher Null
Christopher Null founded Filmcritic.com in 1995.
'It's bad enough to have to kill a man, without having to listen to a lot of stupid talk from him first.' James Garner adapts his Maverick persona to this western-comedy, a clever and deftly-dialogued story about a blase gunfighter who takes the job of sheriff in a rough-and-tumble town simply for the money. Good thing he's an excellent shot and even better with a pistol. It's a clever spoof with some dry moments, but overall it's one of the old west's better comedies.
