Screen legend Burt Reynolds (Gator, Fuzz, Malone) stars in and directs Stick, a fast-paced thriller co-starring Candice Bergen (The Hunting Party), George Segal (Where’s Poppa?) and Charles Durning (True Confessions). Ernest “Stick” Stickley is an ex-con who’s trying to stay clean on the rough streets of Miami. When his former cellmate is murdered during an illicit payoff, Stick finds himself at the center of a high-class circle of criminals, including a nervous drug kingpin, a shady film producer, a stock market whiz with his own gorgeous financial adviser, and a psychotic albino named Moke (legendary stuntman Dar Robinson, Sharkey’s Machine). With a screenplay by Elmore Leonard (52 Pick-Up) and Joseph Stinson (Sudden Impact) based on Leonard’s bestselling novel, Stick blends cons and con artists into a suspenseful tall tale of creative swindling.
