In need of money for his upcoming wedding, Lenny (Jon Abrahams) agrees to help Rick (Peter Greene) with some work. The job, however, turns out to be kidnapping Jimmy (Jeff Bridges), and it's rather involved indeed. Jimmy is a noted mob kingpin, and the plan goes horribly off-track. Surrounded by Jimmy's armed guards, Lenny finds himself a sitting duck -- trapped in a van with the Mafioso as his hostage. To have a prayer of escaping with his life, Lenny will have to think fast.

A sizzler that someone like Sam Peckinpah would probably give his stamp of approval.

...it's impossible not to get a kick out of watching [Noah] Wyle kill a man using a silenced pistol.

3.5/5

Worth watching if only for the half-dozen familiar faces and a few scenes that ratchet up the intensity quite serviceably.

just not executed well enough..Jeff Bridges is one of today's best actors. He's just a delight. So what the heck is he doing in some unremarkable crime thing like "Scenes of the Crime"?

I don't know what I was expecting when I was watched this. It's just a movie that is based on a true story which that you know that movies based on actual events don't get happy endings. People haven't even heard about this movie one bit. I know some people would but I don't know how this is going to turn out. This movie is boring in parts though. All two actors had to do is stay in the van because one person got run over by a vehicle and those people had to negotiate the situation that Jimmy Berg... Yeah, I really can't remember what happened. I wasn't really that into the crime investigation. Which is why this was an incredibly boring and predictable film.
