Henry is kind of a mysterious and
a silent individual. He works for a tollbooth and one day thinking he is going
to a baseball game he goes to a bank robbery with his school time friends. Get
caught and spends time in prison for a crime he had very little involvement. But
when he was released he has less to return for. Puzzled and no one to look up
for he suddenly realize that his life in prison is not worth as he didn’t rob
the bank at the first place. So he plans to rob the bank. In the process he
teams up with a buddy from the prison and fall in love with a stage actress.
This movie is quite slow, and quite.
It has a certain amount of thrill in it but the whole plot is quiet predictable
at one point. Though things like doing time in prison, losing a marriage and
robbing a bank are actually pretty intense and hard to get by things in other
movies, in ‘Henry’s Crime’ they all looks like walking in the park. What’s
intense in this flick is falling in love, trying to hang on to something and
finding the purpose of life.
I wonder if Keanu Reeves full
potential is used here. And so do the other actors as well. If there is any
sense of good acting comes out from any one that would be from Vera Farmiga who
is the stage actress girlfriend of Henry.
Henry’s Crime is not a boring
movie. But it’s a different movie. And it will not leave you anything important
as such to remember after some time.
