The poor actors seem to be performing in quite different movies half the time, and it's hard to work out what Lipsius is trying to say with all these maudlin, roughly sketched storylines.

Rated: 2/5

Worse things have happened to Oscar winners, but it's still unfortunate to see both Richard Dreyfuss and Mira Sorvino flailing in the inept muddle of "Crime Story."

Movies in Focus

Good performances from the leads and a few complex plot points mean that The Last Job delivers unique ideas which bump it up above the average revenge thriller.

Rated: 3/5

More than a shoot 'em up, this is a thriller that doesn't only offer action, but offers some satisfying reflection on the human condition as well.

Rated: 3.5/5

This was one of the better crime movies of the decade. I totally forgot I was in a movie theatre. Richard Dreyfuss should win an Academy Award.

The writing is atrocioius. I'm so tired of unfinished sentences, interrupted explanations that leave the viewer hanging for no apparent story-telling reason. Watching Richard Dreyfuss overcome a young, muscled man in a struggle for a gun stretches the imagination, all the while wondering so many times...why? Weak storyline, unbelievable relationships-detective/congressional aide/crime-boss daughter/sister of dying woman. Please just get to the point. The waiting isn't even breath-holding worthy, and certainly not worthy of the talents of Dreyfuss and Sorvino. Don't waste your time.
