"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.

"Malone" was an enjoyable watch. I had missed this piece of 80's nostalgia until now, but it was decent. Burt Reynolds gives a nice understated performance and I thought the other actors were good as well, especially the girl. The film also features nice scenery and settings. I wish the villain's plans were elaborated a little more though. And I wish the musical score was a little stronger; I think that would have helped. But "Malone" is a solid action film though not unique of course as this storyline has been done many times such as in "First Blood" in 1982 and later in "Taffin" in 1988, and "Road House" in 1989. But it is a genre which can accommodate several players and iterations. My rating 6/10.

Ex-CIA hit-man running from his past (Richard Malone, played by Burt Reynolds) finds just how difficult it is to retire when he runs across a small town controlled by mercenaries and a family that is resisting their control. Reynolds is a smooth pimp, even kissing a young girl in front of her father. I mean, really, who has the balls to do that? Only Reynolds. And why not, when you can go around and beat people up -- or kill them -- without the police being able to stop you? An odd mystery: at one point, Malone's birth date is given as February 14, 1941. I wonder if this date was chosen for any particular reason. This is not Reynolds' birthday, and in fact would make Malone a few years younger than Reynolds...

Burt Reynolds and Cliff Robertson star this light and simple spying adventure.Reynolds is Richard Malone,an ex-CIA agent who,tired of his profession as a killer,resolves to leave his past behind and travels through the country,in search of a new beginning.But he ends up in a small city when his car breaks down and,unexpectedly,gets involved with a magnate with megalomania's problems,played with cynicism by Cliff Robertson,who intends to extend his empire's tentacles over the whole country and reach the power,more exactly,the presidency,with the help of his comrades.It's set a well-directed trama,pleasing and without commitments.The movie counts with action scenes and introduces a romance between Reynolds and a killer played by Gator's Lauren Hutton.The character was made with precision for Reynolds qualities,and the film will certainly please his fans!

MALONE is a typical 1980s-era cheeseball action thriller, starring none other than Burt Reynolds as the tough ex-CIA agent who finds himself involved in small town politics. It's very much of a muchness, similar to a Chuck Norris or Steven Seagal movie in terms of plot, with the latter's FIRE DOWN BELOW feeling quite close (although it's much better). The film takes rather a long time to get going, too bogged down in familiar plotting to really stand out, although the presence of such stars as Cliff Robertson and Scott Wilson help to keep it watchable. Where this does excel is in the action scenes, which are some of the most violent of the era; the blood squibs are bloodier than ever, and there's a sadistic delight taken in watching Reynolds blasting the bad guys with his hand cannon.

Burt Reynolds at times can be a really annoying actor, often portraying an enormous ego, that gets in the way of true acting. I am happy to report that is not the case with"Malone", as a very low key Burt Reynolds is complimented nicely by an always low key Scott Wilson. There are some great character actors in this one also, including Kenneth McMillan, and Tracey Walter. Cliff Robertson is the strong arming overzealous, disillusioned, "patriot", putting the squeeze on a small Oregon town. Reynolds walks away from his C.I.A. operative position, and winds up the unsolicited defender of decent folks. "Malone" is a very good action film, and one of Burt's best. - MERK

This was a breath of fresh air compared to the silly movies that he made from about 1980 to 1990. There were no silly comments just lots of action. VanDamme or Segal could not have done better. The local filming was beautiful and the acting by the supporting cast was first-rate and not overdone. Burt might be too old for this type of movie now but this is the stuff that he should have done when he was in his prime. I am glad I saw it as I gained new respect for his acting.
