"Crime Spree" is a comedy crime flick about a crew of stumblebum French crooks who travel to Chicago to pull a job and become embroiled in a messy conglomeration of situations involving a Latino gang, the FBI, the Chicago mob, and sundry side characters. More of a long series of mildly humorous brain farts than a homogeneous and well wrought caper comedy, "Crime Spree" mixes Keitel and Depardieu with a slew of where-have-I-seen-that-guy-before actors, some ballistics, a babe for a heartbeat, and a skosh of action, and a whole bunch of obvious gags to achieve its budget-conscious and marginally acceptable result. Worth a look for those into campy comedy, but best saved for broadcast when the pickin's is slim. (C+)
