The Gambler vs. Bad Bureaucrats
6 February 2022
I give this TV movie 10 stars for being an enjoyable blast from the 1980s TV past!

The story is standard for a western: good guys vs. Bad guys; but what I enjoyed more than the story were some faces from another time: Kenny Rogers, George Kennedy, Dean Stockwell, Charles Durning, Michael Berryman, Jeffrey Jones, and Sandy Martin (Napoleon Dynamite's Grandma!).

The stunts and fights are fun, the language is clean since it was 1980s TV, and the ending is light-hearted which always makes for a nice TV western along with 'The Gambler' song!

Thanks to BingeTV for airing all the Gambler movies in one binge-worthy Saturday!
