this movie be awful . it try to be funny and fails every time . you can see where youre suppose to laugh and you know the intention be humor and but it just not funny . the character be terribly write . they start off a complete fool and by the end theyre devise intricate scheme that come together in entirely ridiculous fashion . but the most painful part of watch this movie have to be sit through these pathetic attempt at humor . the next point be this split screen edit . some here be rave about it . first of all and it terrible . second of all and why even use it to begin with . brian de palma use it to tell a story and norman jewison use to perfection in the first thomas crown affair . in crime spree it just pop up an hour into the movie and then disappears . it like the editor discover a new trick on the avid and then get sick of it before he know how to use it . only one of the three split move at any give time and the other two be static . what the point . if you want to direct our attention to the only one of the three split that move and then do not use a split screen . the director desecrate the master time and time again . remember the baby carriage on the staircase scene from de palma the untouchable and crime spree have the little girl in the hallway scene and without one iota of the suspense . how about the great leone showdown with clint and lee van and fonda and and bronson the close ups of the eye and the tension before the first man go for his gun . that here in crime spree too . not the tension or the beauty and or the sheer power leone have of capture the moment and make it last forever and but the close ups of the eye that say and look at me and i have see the good and the bad and and the ugly and that there . then we move to tarantino and right out of pulp fiction and remember when jules and vince escape a barrage of bullet miraculously and jules be change forever . well and crime spree have that too and without the revelation of course . and though not a master and crime spree also steal liberally from guy ritchie a well and right down to the bridge scene in lock stock . not to mention the hole in the door shot . this director have see good movie and that obvious and he try to copy them . but he have no idea what make them good . it like when these bozo in hollywood decide to remake the old twilight zone series . they give you the shell of the old show with some weird premise and but with none of the depth and with none of the soul of rod serling . there be nothing good about crime spree . it bad on every level and from the script to the edit to the lighting to the directing and and everything in between . i can not believe that of the 260 people who have thus far vote on this movie and that 60 have give it a 10. if i could vote from one to and hundred and i would give this a zero . it truly awful . i just can not believe these other review . i think someone stuff the ballot box . anyone who rate this movie anything high than garbage be suspect . i rent this and dirty deed on the same night and and although i do not think much of dirty deed and it look oscar worthy after see crime spree .
