The only film directed by Walter Matheau is the first film to go on the worst of the year list for 2009. More home movie then real film this film is a mess. Dis-shelved in a way that Matheau's screen persona became in later years this film is just one big mess. This is the story of bank robber and cop killer who makes an escape to a small town where he robs the local bank and gets in deep with the local crime bosses. Its should be exciting, but its not, with only Matheau seeming to be the only real actor in the bunch. How Matheau got the job directing is beyond me, as is the notion that this was actually shown to a paying audience. Its amateur night at the cinema. The only thing I can think of was everyone in the cast and the director took ill and Matheau and the catering staff stepped in to make the movie. Do not waste your time this is a bad film, and not in a good way.
