HollywoodChicago.com film review: 'Deal' with Burt Reynolds, Shannon Elizabeth

Submitted by HollywoodChicago.com on April 24, 2008 - 12:39am.

HollywoodChicago.com film critic Patrick McDonald wrote in his 1.0 out of 5.0 review of the new film “Deal” with Burt Reynolds and Shannon Elizabeth:

Patrick McDonald wrote:“Deal” recycles every nuance of every underdog sports movie – from “Rocky” to “Rudy” to “Invincible” – but not well. Burt Reynolds plays a mysterious stranger like he needs a three-year nap. Even when his character is in supposed triumph, his demeanor radiates defeat. It was acting as paycheck cashing that only a star of his magnitude could achieve.
