"Malone" is not Burt Reynolds' finest hour (and forty minutes). It doesn't rank anywhere near the best of his movies. Burt seems to be on autopilot for much of the movie. He only seems to come to life in his scenes with Lauren Hutton. Cliff Robertson seems to be mailing it in too. The only cast member that comes off well is Kenneth McMillan. That said, it's still a watchable, semi-low budget '80s action movie. "Malone" has more in common with the movies that Charles Bronson made at towards the end of his career than the other movies in Burt's filmography.
