Summary:
A man, his wife and their friend stage a bloody bank robbery without realizing they are stealing from the Mob.
Cult director Don Siegel bookended Dirty Harry with this esteemed toughie. [08 Mar 1996]
Clint Eastwood, Burt Reynolds and Charles Bronson -- the '70s' three reigning American action movie superstars -- had their thunder stolen when top action director Siegel cast rumpled, baleful-eyed comic sourpuss Walter Matthau in this classic '70s thriller. [09 May 1999, p.C9]
Walter Matthau has a field day with the title character: a crop duster/bank robber who bills himself as "the last of the independents" - and runs circles around a Mafia killer (Joe Don Baker). [07 Mar 1996, p.F3]
It's noisy and brutal, with sentimental flourishes.
