Would-be thieves of the French underworld, Marcel (Johnny Hallyday) and Zero (Renaud) have a knack for doing everything wrong. But even their most ardent doubters could not have seen the latest disaster coming. After being handed a seemingly easy score -- robbing a Chicago house said to be full of jewels -- the crew rips off mob boss Frankie Zammeti's (Harvey Keitel) home instead. They then steal a street gang's car for their getaway, which gets them into even more hot water.

Peter Travers Rolling Stone Rated: 3/4 Jun 26, 2008 Full Review Geoff Pevere Toronto Star The most striking thing one might note about Crime Spree is just how it manages to make so much look bad while adding up to so little. Rated: 1/5 Nov 28, 2003 Full Review Liam Lacey Globe and Mail Funny? Not quite. Thrilling. Not really. So what's the point? Rated: 2/4 Nov 28, 2003 Full Review Frank Swietek One Guy's Opinion Rated: B+ Jun 23, 2008 Full Review Nick Rapp National Post Mirman seems lost in the uncomplicated, formulaic material of Crime Spree. It's as if he wasn't really sure where he wanted the film to go. Rated: 1.5/4 Nov 28, 2003 Full Review Jim Slotek Jam! Movies The only points of interest for some of us in this phoned-in film are the Toronto locations. Rated: 2.5/5 Nov 28, 2003 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Overall it is a silly film, but once you accept you are not watching Harvey Keitel playing a Winston Wolfe or a Mr. White and just accept this is more of a slapstick comedy with French humor it becomes a bit more enjoyable. The film starts off clearly establishing the main characters as a team of bumbling burglars but as the movie processes the character arc is fun to watch. Solid acting overall but I think Saïd Taghmaoui really did a great job with his performance. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review camille l Si vous avez toujours rêvé de voir Renaud parler à la troisième personne, Johnny Hallyday jouer le crétin (avec un plaisir non dissimulé) dirigés par un Gérard Depardieu toujours parfait dans une guerre contre un Harvey Keitel qui en fait des tonnes et un Richard Bohringer d'un autre monde, Wanted est peut-être pour vous. Encore faudra t-il passer outre la nullité crasse de la mise en scène de Brad Mimran, qui recycle tous les pires clichés des DTV à la Seagal, un humour lamentable, un Saïd Taghmaoui fatigant et des twists abominables. Heureusement, cela ne dure qu'1h30. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member very cool shoot 'em up heist pic with lotsa action & a cheeky sense of humour! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member This was a great film, funny and well shot. I think it was a bit too smart and too subtle for the average audience. There are no laugh-out-loud jokes (though I did) and this crime comedy formula has been done before, which may be what is putting the critics off, but it is still a very cute and well made film if taken on its own merit. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Another movie where I don't agree with the masses. Clever and funny. I prefer movies that are character and dialogue driven. If you like dark comedy-crime capers - check it out. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Strike 1: The formulaic plot. Strike 2: The sub-par actors. Strike 3: The subtitles and horrible production quality. I watched less than 20 minutes of this, skipped to the middle to see if it looked like I might be missing anything good, saw that I wasn't, and turned it off. This isn't worth the hour and 45 minutes or the electricity needed to run my DVD player. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews
