Synopsis
A small-time crook who worships
Steve McQueen
gets in over his head in French music video director Dominique Forma's debut feature, Scenes of the Crime. Lenny (Jon Abrahams of
Scary Movie
) is about to be married, but he skips his own bachelor party to drive for thug Rick (
Peter Greene
), who, unbeknownst to Lenny, is planning a kidnapping. The kidnapping plot goes awry, and Lenny ends up alone in the van, holding the soft-spoken victim, Jimmy (
Jeff Bridges
), at gunpoint. Jimmy turns out to be a powerful criminal himself and warns Lenny that there will be dire consequences if he isn't released unharmed. While Jimmy's partner (
Bob Gunton
) negotiates his release with Rick's boss (Loyd Catlett), Jimmy's slimy bodyguard, Seth (
Noah Wyle
of E.R.), tries to figure out a way to resolve the situation himself. As the van sits parked on a city street, the couple that runs the nearby deli (
Morris Chestnut
and Madchen Amick) and a senile old man who lives nearby (R. Lee Ermey) become involved in the tense standoff. Based on an anecdote Forma heard in a seedy bar, Scenes of the Crime was shown in competition at the 2002 Tribeca Film Festival. ~ Josh Ralske, All Movie Guide
