‘Henry’s Crime’ Trailer, With Keanu Reeves And Vera Farmiga

I like the way this trailer plays; it’s a quick, fun clip that suggests the movie has just enough personality to carry it through the kind of thin romantic heist premise. Reviews were mixed out of TIFF, calling it more of a standard romantic drama than anything else, but I’ll check this out just for James Caan.
US rights are seemingly in the hands of Maitland Primrose Group, but we don’t have a release date at this point.
Here’s a synopsis that echoes and slightly expands upon what you learn from the trailer:
Working the night shift as a toll collector on a lonely stretch of highway in Buffalo, New York, Henry (KEANU REEVES) is a man without ambition, dreams or purpose. He gets his wakeup call early one morning when he becomes an unwitting participant in an ill-conceived bank heist. Rather than give up the names of the real culprits, Henry takes the fall and goes to jail. There, he meets the irrepressible Max (JAMES CAAN), a con man who’s grown far too comfortable with the familiarity and security of his ‘idyllic’ life behind bars. He’s not about to leave prison. But he helps plant an idea in Henry’s mind that will change his life forever.
