Henry's Crime Review (2011)

Overly nice guy Henry (Keanu Reeves) works as a Toll Booth operator and is married to a loving but very frustrated wife. But one typically dull morning Henry is tricked into driving a getaway car and becomes an accessory to a bank robbery and gets 3 years in prison, with his wife leaving him in the process.

During Henry's time in prison he becomes friends with a happily incarcerated cellmate Max (James Caan) and upon Henry's release from prison decides that he wants to rob the bank he was sent to jail for and asks Max to help him.

This is a quirky if fairly slow crime comedy that does pick up some pace once the plan for the bank robbery gets going. Henry is convinced he can lead a normal life whilst planning to rob a bank which thanks to some good plotting, leads him to star in a play in the local buffalo theatre which is located right next to the bank. The Robbery has to be completed on the opening night of the show but Henry has fallen in love with the shows leading lady (Vera Farmiga). Henry doesn't feel guilty about robbing the bank of it's money but of actually ruining the play.

Sadly the robbery is so by the numbers that anyone would of sussed out what was going on, how no one hears Henry and Max smash through a wall in one of the dressing rooms I'll never know. But Henry's Crime is worth checking out for Vera Farmiga 's and James Caan's performances and takes this film to an above average rating.
