I could be way off the mark here… but this trailer made me laugh. Edited and colored like many revenge/crime/action thrillers before it, Crime Story stars Richard Dreyfuss as a retired mob boss who has cancer but must take revenge for his family… seriously that’s what it’s about. I don’t know, maybe that’s just how it’s being sold? Maybe you’re a fan of crime thrillers and ‘Harry Brown’ is secretly your favorite movie. Here, watch this:

Did you get that vibe? That feeling like when Saturday Night Live parodied ‘Joker’ as Oscar the grouch. There’s some tension and I apologize if this feels too negative, but after all its promotional material, not the movie itself.

To be released in select theaters and on Digital/On Demand on August 13th, 2021
