Directed by: Harley Cokliss

Cat Out of the Bag Alert! This review contains some spoilers for this film!

Synopsis: Malone (Burt Reynolds) is an ex-CIA hitman looking for some peace and quiet but doesn’t find it in a town being taken over by a ruthless politician.

Purr Blur: In the final battle one of the henchmen named Madrid (Alex Diakun) is looking for Malone in some stables. There is suddenly a cat screech and a ginger tabby cat jumps into a pile of sawdust before running away, distracting the killer. In actuality the cat is “catapulted” into the scene; thrown into the sawdust pile by someone off camera.

Final Mewsings: You can’t blame a cat for not wanting to jump into a pile of sawdust.
