very bad, 3 out of 10

this is one of the worst movies i have ever seen.

so the police could not figure out that charlie varrick was very near the getaway car when it exploded, and decide to question him at length? his name is on his van!!!

he is fairly new to the area, and a woman is involved in the bank robbery, and varrick is married
but his wife is missing.

it would have been so easy for the police to do a little thinking on their own and come up with varrick as a suspect right away.

there is a funny, and silly mistake made during the filming of the get away scene at the bank.

the woman driver shoots the police officer in the forehead. then later when she is gone, a man
is shown placing the police officer's cowboy hat over his face, and their is a hole in the hat.

the hat was on the top of the guy's head, and was not touched by the bullet that only hit the guy's forehead.

so putting a hole in the cowboy hat is a big mistake.

oh well, what can you expect from such crappy movie.

nearly everyone woman, except for the old lady, is involved in prostitution, crime, or is a slut.

great job, mr. male director.

one woman is shown apparently liking to be beaten by a man who is coming onto her.

this is really sick.

this is one of those stupid macho movies where a male character says one really lame line
to a female character, and then suddenly they are in bed.

haha!

stupido!

this is also one of those stupid movies where the plot is so implausible, that it actually insults
the audience's intelligence.

so charlie varrick somehow knew that the goon would kill boyle, only based on seeing
charlie at distance, pretending to celebrate the heist with him?

and he knew he could dump his plane without getting badly injured, and in just the right
location near the blue car that had been loaded with dynamite??

and the two character devices: the killer smokes a pipe, and varrick keeps putting a new
stick of gum in his mouth every so often, when he is doing something criminal.

and what about the racism of the second bank robber, and the goon killer?

and of course the goon killer just has to call the prostitutes a bunch of morons. that's deep...a hitman calling prostitutes morons.

at 7.4 this movie is over-rated, by about 3-4 points.

why would walter matthau appear in such a crap fest?
