" . . . reviewers" have written? Before answering that question, why not ask yourself about how many flicks you've previously enjoyed that involving digging up dead presidents (TOMB RAIDER),serial killers (SILENCE OF THE LAMBS) or prophets (RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK). I'm sure that if French film makers had as much imagination as those in the USA, they'd be able to come up with a rip-snorting movie about digging up Joan of Arc. However, America's Tinsel Town thinks that its self-proclaimed "stars" are somehow sacrosanct, and therefore entitled to be immune from common grave robbers. Nevertheless, with such American folk heroes as Abe Lincoln, John Dillinger and Jimmy Hoffa all having been at the center of American Diggers plots over the years, it is more than hypocritical to disparage STEALING CHAPLIN for championing the American Way.
Plot summary
Inspired by real events, two Las Vegas based con men dig up and steal the corpse of comedian Charlie Chaplin in order to ransom it. With the theft gaining the world's attention and the reward rising daily, soon every local lowlife, criminal and dirty cop wants a piece of the action.

Is it fair to say that this film is in "poor taste," as many so-called "professional . . . "

Ending ?
I really enjoyed it except the strange impossible chance meeting at the very, very, end.

Every Chaplin fan knows he never returned to the US after the communist witch-hunt, so Charlie Chaplin was never buried in Vegas.
