I'm a big fan of the films of Burt Reynolds. I haven't seen them all but the ones that I have seen I've seen a bunch of times. There a few a haven't seen yet. I caught up to "Sam Whiskey" last night. It wasn't very good. It was actually pretty bad. The first ten minutes or so started out great but then it fades fast. Angie Dickinson was very dreamy in her opening scene but later becomes kind of annoying. Her giant 1960s style hair didn't help. I've never understood how Clint Walker was famous. With the exception of his great work in "The Dirty Dozen", his performances have always left me flat. Burt Reynolds and Ossie Davis are both very likable actors but they aren't given anything that interesting to do. "Sam Whiskey" is a western/comedy/heist movie. The heist part of the movie seems to go on forever. Unfortunately, "Sam Whiskey" drops Burt's batting average down a little bit.
