Entertaining Movie

Well this was a great way to spend an evening, I mean it's obviously well atleast at the end ] a pilot for a hoped series of movies or TV series, but in it's self it's an entertaning few hours.

Kenny rogers is a recently released "con" who checks into a hotel looking for his ex-wife and gets embroiled in a plan to rob a casino in Las Vegas.

With guest appearances by a number of known faces from the world of TV most noticeably Barry Newman, still known to people of my generation as the hopeless house builder but un-beatable lawyer Petrocelli.

This is a nice movie, with good action sequences and enough twists to keep you interested.

One thing though either there was an injury of the main star or something 'cause he seemed to do a good stunt fight early on then they put in a not very similar stunt man for a sequence that seemed little more than a scuffle, not sure why there.

But definatly worth checking out.

My confirmation that Kenny Rogers is also a Great Actor

Kenny Rogers brings great character to this movie. His personna, charisma and acting, carry the show. Brings all pionts A to B with ease. I think that's it; he does it with such ease, it appears so natural and believable, and a most likeable character to add the finishing touch. I'm sorry if I am not giving credit to all that deserve, it's just what sticks in my memory; I've watched the movie three times in the last few weeks. I had to give it a 10 out of 10.

MacShayne, a gambler and con-man, fresh out of jail, goes to Las Vegas to reunite with his son. He discovers his ex-wife vanished with son. A retired cop named Leggett offers to locate his son, in exchange for MacShayne's assistance. Leggett needs three guys for a casino robbery! Two men on board, but the third is hesitant. Leggett sets up a poker game for MacShayne to clean him out, providing leverage. MacShayne realizes Leggett plans to betray everyone, and thus decides to turn the tables on him. Will not give all of the story away, as not to spoil it!

I seer why the title starts off with MacShayne (Kenny Rogers)!

Director

E.W. Swackhamer cast me in "McShayne" after I walked into the office and gave him my resume, and as he looked at it and he spotted one of my credits, he looked up and said "I thought you looked familiar".

Well back in I think 79 or 80 I was doing extra work in a TV pilot called "10 speed & Brown Shoe" starring Jeff Goldblum and Ben Vereen.

We'll "Swack" they called him was directing the pilot and picked me out of the crowd of extras to have a "featured part" as a German thug.

I ended up working some 2-3 weeks and ended up getting my SAG card because of a stunt I performed.

Great Guy, Great Director, he will be missed.

Thank You.
