Whether he was singing, making a movie or appearing on some lame TV show, Jerry Reed always looked like he was having a great time. Proud fans of redneck cinema inevitably laud Reed's multiple portrayals of The Snowman in the "Smokey" movies. But for my money Reed's acting career hit its apex with Gator.
His Bama McCall is all monsterous roadhouse menace, a lethal backslapper with a heart as black as coal.
It's also a darn good little action movie.
