Crime Club

About This Movie

Crime Club is an intriguing entry in the early '70s mystery genre, marked by its rather unorthodox pacing and a tone that swings between light-hearted banter and serious investigation. The film dives into the murky waters of wealth and suspicion, as a group of detectives—both seasoned and amateur—grapple with the death of a wealthy man's son. The performances are a mixed bag, but there's a charm in the earnestness of the cast, which draws you into the story. You can feel the atmospheric tension build as secrets unfold, making it a curious piece for those interested in how mystery films of the era tackled themes of trust and betrayal without the reliance on modern tropes. It has a certain rawness that stands out, I’d say.

Crime Club remains a bit of a hidden gem in the mystery genre, having seen limited releases on various formats over the years. The scarcity of physical copies makes it more appealing to collectors, especially given its relatively low profile. Despite its lesser-known status, there's a growing interest among genre enthusiasts who appreciate its unique approach and the quirks of '70s filmmaking.
