Charley Varrick and his friends rob a small town bank. Expecting a small sum to divide amongst themselves, they are surprised to discover a very LARGE amount of money. Quickly figuring out that the money belongs to the MOB, they must now come up with a plan to throw the MOB off their trail.
Matthau is the small-time crook happy robbing small banks for a modest living. He inadvertently finds himself with a large stash of money when he and his gang rob a small town bank, which is used to stash mob money. Varrick's chance of a lifetime starts to turn sour as he is pursued by both the Mafia and the police. Eager to return the hot money and be done with it, he finds himself opposed by the other members of the gang. Matthau is excellent in the title role and, from The Odd Couple onwards, has been under-rated as a dramatic actor. Baker is suitably menacing as the Mafia man hot on his heels. Siegel handles the script with a typically assured touch. Charley Varri...
My daddy was a bank robber...
No good guys, no hero, no improving message, just Don Siegel following up Dirty Harry with another cracking, noirish action film. Things go downhill pretty quickly for Matthau and his gang, and, given the genre and the tone, there's no real comfort zone for the viewer that things necessarily have to turn out well for the protagonists. Joe Don Baker is great, unsettling and physically intimidating, dominating every scene he's in. Fine lead performance from Matthau, playing against type as a smart, ruthless survivor.
