*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

A tale of Louise and Terry, a married couple that decided to earn some extra money by stealing valuable modern paintings and selling them to a wheel-chair bound gallery proprietor Martin. Louise, who usually does all the dirty work- entering guarded buildings through sky-lites, dangling on a rope several meters above the ground, cheating security systems and removing paintings from their frames with a razor- is getting tired of that double life and wishes to quit. Her husband talks her into committing one more "victimless crime", as he calls it, in Martin's gallery, so that gallery owner can receive insurance money from staged theft. Luise eventually changes her mind, refuses to leave the car parked in front of the building and Terry is forced to carry out the deed himself. Everything goes wrong that night because Martin is shot in the office by his partner in crime, a corrupt bald-headed detective, who would do anything to protect himself and his illegal activities. Terry runs into this villain during his night visit of the gallery and has to take to his heels. After learning about Martin's violent death, Terry gets seriously unsettled by the fact he might become a suspect in murder case. The matters are further complicated by existence of a videocassette that can serve as an evidence against the evil cop and by Terry's adultery... Victimless Crimes is rather slow and slightly below-average crime movie that doesn't offer any kind of surprising plot twist, mystery or masked murderer. One interesting aspect of the movie is Louise's hobby-creating home and experimental movies with early 90's video equipment. The performance of actress Debra Sandlund also doesn't hurt the movie. Still, a question remains: How did the snippet of music used in William Fruet's "Blue Monkey" get into the scene of final confrontation between Terry and the corrupt detective?
