DISORGANIZED CRIME is a movie equivalent to a tv crime comedy. It's all ensemble acting with no one person stealing all of the scenes. All of the actors are very good as different criminal talents put together to execute a perfect crime in a small town. There is just one small problem; the mastermind for all of the other criminals is arrested and cannot put all of the various pieces togrther. The rest of the movie is about the mastermind escaping two funny but incompetent lawman while the leaderless henchmen try to do the job by themselves. Both parts of the movie work well and the ending is funny, ironic, and surprising.

There is no way you cannot enjoy this movie, the actors are all absolutely hillarious. (Ruban Blades is by far the best) What, at first, looks like just another run-of-the-mill crime caper, turns into a complicated action-comedy that doesn't have one unlikeable character. (Ed o'neil is also one of the best Characters)

It cost only 10$. But it's worth 3 times that. I saw this ages ago (just after it came out) and always loved it, so I had to have it for my collection. I dig movies about bumbling thieves too, but these guys aren't the bumbling kind. And besides, the Bank Vault with all that money may motivate the characters in the film, but ultimately it's not about that. Rubén Blades is just so superb in this. His behaviour always provokes fits of laughter. All the actors play off each other so well, whether it's the late Fred Gwynne, Young Guns' Lou Diamond Phillips, or Ed O'Neill from TV's Married With Children. I really can't recommend this more. It doesn't play like the usual caper, because the humour isn't necessarily in great jokes or great physical stunts or the like. The laughs come from the dynamics between the characters - their interaction and communication with one another; it's in how they say things, their facial expressions. Subtleties. And all this from actors who don't earn 20 million per picture. Plus, you know, it cost only 10$!

This movie is an obscure, totally forgotten comedy from 1989 but its one of the funniest movies Ive ever seen.

This is one of my favorite movies when I'm in the mood for comedy. Lots of recognizable faces. Witty. Many memorable lines and moments. The character personalities and character interaction is priceless. I guarantee you'll laugh out loud.

I remembered watching this movie years ago and loved it. Somehow or another I got to thinking of it again and purchased it here as blockbuster doesn't seem to carry it. Oh well, even though it's aged some, it's still a classic misfit caper movie that's good for a laugh. It's slow to start however one of those movies that's fun to watch over and over.

Great to see some humor in bank robbery. The only thing that leaves me cold is there is about 4 mentions of the F word in the flick. I can't show it to the grandkids like I wanted to. The film was filmed right here in this area and it was great to see the local scenes and local people. Too bad my grandkids won't be able to see it because it is funny. What a laugh!
Too bad they had to spoil it with the words. Then it would be PG for sure.

This is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen! There are so many funny scenes that I can't pick my favorite. I wish more comedies were this good.

Bought this DVD when it came out .... have watched it over and over and still find it funny and entertaining .. well worth the money .

You'll either love it or hate it! I saw it in theaters with a friend years ago and giggled and giggled. The laughs build throughout the movie and I still quote one-liners from it. My poor friend, however, hated it.
