He feels the bank owes him for years of loyal and underpaid service and he decides to get even by robbing the safety deposit box of a mean-spirited local millionaire, Charles Merchant.

In an epilogue, we learn that Carter worked his way up to the assistant manager position at the bank, Max and Stu moved to Las Vegas, Jason traveled south and was never seen again, and Sheila enrolled at UCLA.

[5] Critic Matthew Leyland of online service BBCi gave the film two stars out of five, calling it a "tepid revenge farce" with an "undercooked plot" and observing that "attempts at zany humour turn pear-shaped".

[7] Of the rare favourable reviews was the one by Duane Byrge of The Hollywood Reporter in which he called the storyline a "raucously satisfying triumph of good over evil" and "a truckload of laughs" while concluding that "this wonderfully wayward comedy should make off with a ton of dollars, euros and other comic currency".

[8] Scorched was filmed in six weeks, ending principal photography on June 23, 2001[9] but was not released in the United States until July 25, 2003.

The film suffered major financial losses during its theatrical run, earning only $8,000 (approximately 0.1%) from a production budget of $7 million.
