Unfortunately, what was to have been a routine heist turns ugly when Daniel and his cohorts realize that they've ripped off Zammeti (Harvey Keitel), the head of a powerful crime family. Before they know it, the threesome find themselves strangers in a strange land being hunted by both the mafia and the FBI. Co-starring Johnny Hallyday, Renaud, and Saïd Taghmaoui, Crime Spree had its premiere at the 2003 Valenciennes Film Festival. ~ Matthew Tobey, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star
The most striking thing one might note about Crime Spree is just how it manages to make so much look bad while adding up to so little.
-
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
Funny? Not quite. Thrilling. Not really. So what's the point?

Nick Rapp, National Post
Mirman seems lost in the uncomplicated, formulaic material of Crime Spree. It's as if he wasn't really sure where he wanted the film to go.

Jim Slotek, Jam! Movies
The only points of interest for some of us in this phoned-in film are the Toronto locations.
