I'm very surprised nobody has reviewed the Kino Lorber blu-ray of Charley Varrick, released in 2019. It was one Don Siegel film I hadn't seen - the title never really grabbed me and I always associate Walter Matthau with comedy. Then the April 2023 edition of EMPIRE magazine featured Charley Varrick as one of their "Movie masterpiece" series and my interest was peaked:
The UK has an Indicator blu-ray but the Kino Lorber is from a new scan. It's a brilliant film - typical auteur 70's filmmaking, where the plot and action are not formulaic. I'd now rate it as Don Siegel's best. And the transfer is completely spotless.
