Disorganized Crime

1989 · 98 min

A breezy, goofy caper where incompetent crooks bumble through a small-town heist, more amiable than tense.

Overview
Lou Diamond Phillips and Fred Gwynne team up with a gang of professional criminals who have everything it takes to rob a bank. The only things they do have going for them are a cop and his partner, who are dumber than they are! By the time the gang hits the bank vault, it's a safe bet there's going to be organized insanity and disorganized crime!
