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

Audience Member So many movies are so much worse. Was ok. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/22/25 Full Review Audience Member This is an excellent movie which still resonates today. In the movie Malone, an ex-CIA operative character played by Burt Reynolds ends up battling a delusional right wing nut who wants to take over the United States. This movie has aged well because our country is now unfortunately being run by right wing MAGA extremists. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/21/25 Full Review 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.
