Henry's Crime

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Supporting actors Vera Farmiga and James Caan give the movie a little heft, but Henry's Crime is an otherwise predictable heist/comedy with slow pacing.

Logan Hill New York Magazine/Vulture Sep 23, 2020
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. Go to Full Review
Moira MacDonald Seattle Times Apr 28, 2011
2.5/4
An intermittently entertaining comedy/drama with a funny script and a fatal miscasting. Go to Full Review

Go for Caan and Farmiga, and stay to be surprised by Reeves. Go to Full Review

Henry's Crime is quieter than either of its genres leads one to expect but, perhaps because of this, it provides a lot of fun throughout. Go to Full Review

The film feels a bit enervated, even when the script asks it to fly off the rails toward the end. Go to Full Review
Kelly Vance East Bay Express Apr 28, 2011
The screenplay leeches all the fun out of it, and the principals - aside from Caan, who generates his own power - seem lost and abandoned. Go to Full Review

Alain E @AlainE Jan 31, 2026 Not credible plot. Reeves is a blue collar married guy. A friend asks him to fill a vacancy in a baseball team, but in reality they want him to drive the escape car in a bank robbery that goes south. Reeves is arrested and chooses not to cooperate with the police and instead goes to prison to serve three years for stupidity. These first eleven minutes were enough. Let alone that earlier when he went home after his night shift doesn’t kiss or even touch his wife, who however expresses the desire to have kids. I guess by in vitro fertilization. See more
bob c @RT46426964 May 19, 2025 Sure, it’s another heist/comedy movie, but it’s got enough difference to make it worth watching. Even with KR’s minimalist technique. See more
John S @RT82984916 Jun 19, 2024 I personally thought it was an excellent movie.It did everything a movie supposed to do,it entertained.I especially liked James Caan and Kneau Reeves was perfect in his role as well. See more
carlos t @RT67858720 May 30, 2022 Minha opinião: Uma comédia light. O Keanu com sua cara songo, é levado por seus amigos a um assalto sem que ele saiba. A policia o prende por 3 anos. Como ele sente injustiçado por isso e mais a esposa que deixa ele por um amigo e ainda a engravida. Resolve assaltar o banco de verdade. E nisso descobre o amor por uma atriz de teatro. Chama seu amigo de cela e mais o novo marido de sua ex. nisso o guarda que o prendeu também entra na quadrilha. E assim segue o filme. O final com um toque romântico, onde o Amor e maior que o dinheiro. Roteiro: Um roteiro light, para um filme light. Vale apena assistir? Quer esdacer um pouco o cérebro? Então assista. Nota: 7 See more
Jeffrey P @vanillavoodoo1 Jan 24, 2022 Described and previewed as more serious than it is. Wasn't at all what is expected, the cast alone makes it watchable until things get interesting, which they barely do. See more
Jan 16, 2022 Yeah.. not the best. But hey, Niagra Falls was still pretty to see, even from the US side... LOL! See more
