Soundtrack:

In Between

Not the best Reynolds film ever, but still good.

To me, If its got Burt Reynolds its a good movie, this wasent the best ive ever seen but its still a film that I would recommend you watch.

It had great actors like Louren Holly, Benjamin Bratt, Rod Steiger, Ann Magret, Charles Durning, And Burt Reynolds.

Watch this film if your just looking for a good Burt Reynolds Movie.
