The 2021 film Crime Story (originally titled The Last Job or Reckoning ) is a somber crime drama and thriller directed by Adam Lipsius that attempts to blend a gritty revenge tale with a maudlin family tragedy. Despite featuring Academy Award winners Richard Dreyfuss and Mira Sorvino, the film is often criticized for its convoluted plot and uneven pacing.
The story follows Ben Myers (Dreyfuss), a retired mob boss who has transitioned into a quiet life while caring for his wife, Nan, who suffers from dementia. Ben himself is facing a terminal cancer diagnosis, adding a layer of desperation to his existence. When his home is ransacked and his life savings stolen by three men who traumatize his wife, Ben decides to bypass the law. Utilizing a hidden surveillance camera, he embarks on a "deadly rampage of vengeance" to recover his assets and exact justice.
