James Caan and Keanu Reeves star in Henrys Crime, a thriller from 44 Inch Chest director Malcolm Venville.
While the actual robbers go free, Henry is sentenced to three years in prison.
He makes parole after one year behind bars, with a plan in mind.
Slight moral fuzziness there, but hey, its an interesting enough premise for an unorthodox revenge caper.
The mildness of touch actually works in favour ofHenrys Crime, except in the casting of Keanu Reeves.
What Reeves brings to the role is kind of disaffecting, though.
The mildness of touch turns into an actual distance from whats going on.
With Reeves, it just seems like he was never really interested in her at all.
Look at the other credits on the film.
Sacha Gervasi co-wrote the script, and previously directedAnvil!
He plays Max as a confidence man whos skilled in performance, which only shows up Reeves even more.
