Henry's Crime Reviews
Fortunately, for a film that quotes so much Chekhov, Henry's Crime is likably unpretentious: a wry story about a quiet schmuck who finally sticks his neck out.

An intermittently entertaining comedy/drama with a funny script and a fatal miscasting.
Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 28, 2011
Go for Caan and Farmiga, and stay to be surprised by Reeves.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 28, 2011
What's needed is someone nervous to play Henry. A Steve Buscemi, for example. Reeves maintains a sort of Zen detachment.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 28, 2011
A felony of a movie ... tedious and improbable...
| Original Score: 1/4 | Apr 22, 2011
If "Henry's Crime'' is occasionally too pleased with itself, it's also pleasantly unpredictable, and it has a trio of sweet hambone performances at its center.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 21, 2011
The film's ungainly mix of heist, romance and backstage comedy never jells.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Apr 14, 2011
"Henry's Crime" is a movie that eschews the details and tries to get by on charm, and it does have charm - just not enough to get by.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 14, 2011
Keanu Reeves gives an adroit turn in this pleasantly deadpan caper.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 8, 2011
Though the movie has some engagingly quirky moments, everything falls into place far too easily for much suspense to build, and the romance between the two leads seems as contrived as everything else.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 8, 2011
Its mood is so muffled and point so submerged, it's difficult to see why Mr. Reeves and the rest of the cast pooled their talents to make a movie about a nowhere man going no place in particular in Buffalo.
Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 7, 2011
It's a grating muddle, typified by Reeves as a protagonist who's so frustratingly vapid that even the other characters seem baffled at his blankness.
| Original Score: D+ | Apr 7, 2011
It's a grab bag of comic clichs about bank robberies and regional theater.
| Original Score: C | Apr 6, 2011
Henry's Crime has a little too much in common with its aimless namesake.
| Apr 6, 2011
The gleam in James Caan's eye is about all that illuminates this moribund comedy about a ring of Buffalo hoods who infiltrate a Buffalo staging of The Cherry Orchard.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Apr 3, 2011
There's a certain ingenuity in the way the plot of Chekhov's play becomes interwoven with the robbery, but for the most part the producers seem to be aiming at, and almost achieving, MFI - maximum feasible implausibility.

Venville made the ferocious 44 Inch Chest, by the way - but this is gentle as custard pie.
Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 14, 2011
An offbeat comedy/drama elevated by another terrific Varmiga turn.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 14, 2011
Witness a rare sighting, like an albatross over the Scottish highlands. It's Keanu Reeves, acting in The Cherry Orchard.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 13, 2011
