Keanu Reeves plays a hapless tollbooth clerk who goes to prison for accidentally robbing a bank — then decides to intentionally rob the same bank in the middling caper flick “Henry’s Crime.”
The Reeves figure does hard time after some guys he thinks he is driving to a softball game instead enlist him as their getaway driver in the original bank robbery. When he gets out of prison, he stumbles across an old newspaper story about a tunnel connecting the bank to a theater. There, an actress (Vera Farmiga) starring in a Chekov play takes a liking to him and even lands him a role. He decides to pull off a heist while he’s stealing her heart.
Though the movie has some engagingly quirky moments, everything falls into place far too easily for much suspense to build, and the romance between the two leads seems as contrived as everything else.
