This 53-Year-Old Thriller Stars the Best Performance of Burt Reynolds’ Legendary Career
Image
By the early ’70s, Burt Reynolds was one of cinema’s rising men of action. With starring roles in films like Fuzz and Skullduggery, Reynolds was charming, physical and was rarely asked to show much beyond that.
