Entertaining 'Maverick'-feeling
Inspired by 'Maverick' and 'Back to the Future 3' Jeffrey Boam screenwriter ('Funny Farm') created the son of Brisco County's unbelievable adventures.I've seen the pilot film. Good script (by Boam), witty editing, catching melodies (by Randy Edelman) and so-so acting characterizes this well-done western/comedy directed by the talented Bryan Spicer.
The cult-actor Bruce Campbell ('Evil Dead') was the best choice for the leading part. His humorous performance surpasses Mel Gibson's or James Garner's in 'Maverick'.
Altough some bad guy's role is too comics-like (Billy Drago as John Bly is awful), the gags and actions make the viewers want to see the sequels of the film's adventurous events.
'Brisco County Jr' has one of the best pilot I've ever seen. I rank it 8 of the 10.
