So Burt decided to return as "Bad Ass" Burt from pre-1976 in this Elmore Leonard adaptation. "Stick" starts out great, but, fizzles out in the second half when Burt literally shaves his beard off. Apparently the whole film was suppose to be like the first was, but, studio meddling prevented that. Its a shame because there's a nice cast on board here. Including Candice Bergen, George Segal, Charles Durning (sporting some ridiculous outfits), and Dar Robinson (who makes a great bad guy). "Stick" still is a good movie, but, its a shame it couldn't have all been like that first half.
