Synopsis
The directorial-debut of screenwriter Brad Mirman (Truth or Consequences, N.M.), Crime Spree stars Gerard Depardieu as Daniel, the head of a trio of French crooks who cross the pond for a job in Chicago. 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.

'Grinch' Should Continue B.O. Crime Spree
"The Grinch" should gobble up more Thanksgiving box office leftovers than any other movie this weekend.
"Everything will take a 50-60% drop, particularly the family films," predicts one insider, anticipating a replay of last weekend's chart, since there are no new wide openings.
"You've got to figure that 50% drops are in line," another studio executive agrees. "There's no doubt about that. It always happens."
Should someone have opened a picture this weekend? "No," replies a distributor, "not unless you had a teenage film like 'Scream.' It's not a good weekend for box office. People are getting set for the holidays and they're drained. They're tired from Thanksgiving and they've got to get going with their Christmas shopping. We did a quarter of a billion dollars over Thanksgiving, so everybody went to the movies last weekend."
