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.

Walter Goodman New York Times 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? May 21, 2003 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy One of the many pile-on duds that continued Burt Reynolds’ slide from Hollywood king to a VHS rental afterthought. Rated: 2/4 Sep 16, 2023 Full Review Cathy Burke United Press International A little wisecracking might have done this movie a world of good. Nov 8, 2016 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews Malone is simply unable to hold one's interest for more than a few minutes at a time... Rated: 2/4 Dec 31, 2015 Full Review Chuck O'Leary Fantastica Daily Burt is in top form in this predictable, but watchable modernization of Shane. Rated: 3/5 Oct 21, 2005 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 3/5 Jul 27, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews

alan g Good Burt Reynolds action flick. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/27/24 Full Review Jelisije J One of the better Burt Reynolds action dramas that still holds up to modern action movies. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/11/24 Full Review Steve D You have seen it before, even if you have never seen it before. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/03/23 Full Review ashley h 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. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Quite easily enjoyable. There are better Reynolds films but this one cuts it if you're new to his style. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Thoroughly entertaining action flickr playing on Burt Reynolds charisma Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
