One of my all time favorites.

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

A most entertaining movie with that greatest gift – humour, to which should be added a gratifyingly complex plot. It's been some time since I came across such an enjoyable film and hence am at a loss why there have been so few votes and a rating of 6.4, I give it a minimum of 8.Our team is a group of pretty incompetent French robbers who are sent to do a job in Chicago, where they are beset by a variety of complications. I say team since a fair number are involved which makes it impossible to draw all the characters in depth, all the more so since there are so many other people involved.Give it a try and enjoy it for what it is instead of trying to draw parallels with other pictures.

An American having lived in France for more than 10 years, I enjoyed the movie for a number of reasons: recognizing the actors from many other films,living almost daily with the comparisons between French and American, knowing Chicago and identifying with the characters reactions on being in the US for the first time. Most of all, though, was the film's excellent script (no loose ends), great interpretation by the actors, and the unique combination of seriousness (violence and loss of life) with the comedy of the situation and this all wrapped up with a fun and unusual ending. I watched the film 3 times in the French version and look forward to seeing it again in English, which I hope will be as good.

If the director of this movie (whose obscurity to me is such that, seeing it two minutes ago, I've already forgotten his name) has ever seen a Guy Ritchie movie, he is trying to mimic it. The problem is that he had neither the budget, nor the quality script, nor the finesse to manage the style that Ritchie indulges in.The technical flaws are evidence of a careless crew; Ritchie's style is so impeccable that there can be no failure of transition, no awkward cuts or slow moments. I can only assume that budgetary constraints were a limit here, because any self-respecting director would re-shoot the flawed scenes if he had the capacity to do so.The characters have no originality or dimension - you have the dumb robber, the dumb hired brute, the cocky (and dumb) American crimelord, and the dumb, loose woman. Redundant, you think? Stupidity is only funny if some hapless character with intelligence is submerged in it, not when a mass of idiots fumbles its idiot way through the plot. The lack of substance to the characters is not only appalling of itself, the dialogue can't begin go any farther than the personalities reciting it.And if this weren't enough, the director himself doesn't know what he's doing. The scene construction is ridiculous: one thing happens, concludes (maybe), then another thing happens, with no purpose of transition or changeover. During the second thing, the world of the first thing (usually in the same room) is put on total standby until the director feels it is time for the next purposeless changeover.I didn't have the stomach for more than forty minutes of "Crime Spree." The ineptitude demonstrated on virtually all levels of production (a talented cast doing what it can with so little is perhaps the only exception) makes this movie a total failure.

I bought this on sale at blockbuster sight unseen.. I figured how bad can it be .. harvey kitel .. it was excellent. An awesome crime/comedy i laughed and laughed .. from the beginning to the end.it just has everything you could want in a crime/comedy movie and more. i would definitely recommend it to anyone. there are a lot of movies that claim to be what this one is .. and just don't have the "get go" to make it through a feature length time frame. if i had to associated it with other films they would be Snatch, Lock Stock and two smoking barrels, Payback and others. This is one i would like to have seen on the big screen.
