Henry’s Crime (2010)

Henry's Crime (2010)

Genre: Romantic Comedy
Directed by: Malcolm Venville
Starring: Keanu Reeves, Vera Farmiga, James Caan
Running time: 108 minutes

 

Henry (Reeves) is toll-booth employee sleep-walking through a small town life with his wife. One day, while out with friends, he gets arrested for an armed robbery he did not commit. He decides to escape his life by taking the fall alone, although he knows who did the crime. When he comes out, 18 months later, he decides that, since he did the time, he should do the crime.

 Keanu Reeves was certainly the perfect actor to play a guy sleep-walking through life.  We are so used to see him sleep through his movie lines.  Though the choice is perfect, it does not make the movie great. There are few interesting little gems here, but not enough to save this off-beat romantic comedy. I would not recommend this, unless you are a fan of the genre or of Keanu Reeves.
