Quartile rating: 6/10 · 1 rating
An aimless man is sent to prison for a crime he did not commit, an ex-con targets the same bank he was sent away for robbing.
Henry's Crime is a mildly charming but largely forgettable crime comedy. The premise has some quirky potential but is executed in a formulaic, low-energy way. Keanu Reeves, James Caan, and Vera Farmiga bring watchable performances that elevate the thin material, but the film never fully capitalizes on its cast. Cinematography is unremarkable and workmanlike. The theatrical subplot adds a minor novelty twist but doesn't make the film feel truly distinctive. The ending wraps up predictably without much payoff or surprise, consistent with the film's overall modest ambitions.
