Stick is a 1983 crime novel written by Elmore Leonard.[1]
The novel was adapted into a 1985 film of the same name starring and directed by Burt Reynolds. The New York Times wrote that the film adaptation of Stick was miscast by a director who should have known better, that being Reynolds himself.[2]
Recently released from prison, career criminal Ernest Stickley Jr. finds himself in Miami involved in a drug money deal that goes disastrously awry.
