I have already seen it twice, several years apart. After seeing it for the first time, many scenes were imprinted in my mind and I wanted to see it again at the first opportunity. It's the kind of movie you want to watch again and again, as if it had something magical about it. And really, the magic is the story directed by the one and only Don Siegel, a great director, I've seen many of his films, those with Clint Eastwood, "Dirty Harry" and others. But the best, according to my taste, is this "Charley Varrick". Walter Matthau was an exceptional actor. And I saw him in many films, "Charade", "Buddy Buddy", "The Taking of Pelham One Two Three", "The Laughing Policeman", "Candy", "Hello Dolly", "Cactus Flower", to remember the best ones. I have seen him in others, but this "Charley Varrick" seems to me the best of all. It also benefits from the extraordinary performances of Joe Don Baker, John Vernon, Jacqueline Scott, Sheree North, Felicia Farr, Andrew Robinson. "Charley Varrick" is a thrilling film, of great value, and Lalo Schifrin's music makes it even more exciting.
