Crime Spree is a 2003 Canadian-British film written and directed by Brad Mirman starring Gérard Depardieu and Harvey Keitel, as well as French singers Johnny Hallyday and Renaud.
Daniel Foray (Gérard Depardieu) is the leader of an unusual group of burglars in Paris. When Daniel is instructed by his boss to go to Chicago to pull off an easy home robbery it seems simple enough. However, when the group arrives in Chicago, the mission quickly turns into a fiasco.
First, the group has a run in with a local gang of street thugs. Then, the group's "keep a low profile" stay with Sophie Nicols (Joanne Kelly) is disrupted by a noisy neighbour. To make matters worse, while preparing for the burglary the group steals a car which belongs to a Latino street gang... After breaking into the house, tying up the owner and cracking the safe, the group realise that they have burgled the wrong house! The house in fact belongs to Frankie Zammeti (Harvey Keitel) an under boss of the Chicago Mafia who vows revenge.

Renaud Pierre Manuel Séchan, known as Renaud (French: [ʁəno]; born 11 May 1952), is a popular French singer, songwriter and actor. His characteristically 'broken' voice makes for a very distinctive vocal style. Several of his songs are popular classics in France, including the sea tale "Dès que le vent soufflera", the irreverent "Laisse béton", the ballad "Morgane de toi" and the nostalgic "Mistral gagnant". However, with the exception of a recording of "Miss Maggie" in English and a franglais recording of "It is not because you are", his work is almost unknown outside the French-speaking world.
Fresh out of school, Renaud was determined to become an actor. By chance he met the actor Patrick Dewaere and was invited to join the company of the comedy theatre Café de la Gare, which had recently been founded by Patrick Dewaere, Coluche, and Miou-Miou.
His early work is characterized by a volatile temperament, innovative use of French, and edgy, dark, left-wing social and political themes. Raised in an educated milieu, the son of an intellectual, Renaud adopted the looks and attitude of working-class youth in the 1970s, and reflected this in his lyrics. A recurrent theme is his disgust for the average French people with petit-bourgeois preoccupations and right-wing leanings (see beauf). His music focuses on the disparity between classes, the abuse of political power, overbearing authority and disgust for the military, with rare glimpses of tenderness for his fellow humans, the planet earth, and art.
Renaud, ou La suite d'Armide (Renaud, or the Sequel to "Armide") is an opera by the French composer Henri Desmarets, first performed at the Académie Royale de Musique (the Paris Opera) on 5 March 1722. It takes the form of a tragédie en musique in a prologue and five acts. The libretto, by Simon-Joseph Pellegrin, is based on Torquato Tasso's Gerusalemme liberata. The opera is a sequel to Jean-Baptiste Lully's Armide (1686).
The libretto had an influence on Antonio Sacchini's opera Renaud, first performed in 1783.
Renaud, born Renaud Séchan, is a French singer, songwriter and actor.

with the littering, the loitering, the mattress tags
all the piratated mp3s I grabs [arrrr]
all the cable I stole, certain bathroom wall I wrote on
i'm so cruel and cold you put a coat on
i even cheat on my tax!
"from this life of crime there could be no turning
back"
riding all around on my bike with no helmet, commit
mail fraud whenever I see a mailman
got a jaywalking ticket. I crumpled it up!
still bump the bootleg cause I'm hanging tough [we're
ruff!]
crime spree that I'm on, breaking the law until the
break of the dawn

(mc frontalot you're so hardcore)
crime spree that I'm on, breaking the law until the
break of the dawn

(this mc led a life of crime)
harder than a criminal's supposed to be, most of the
FBI heard of this MC

that y'all are tracking me down, cat n' the mouse
gearing it up for some chasin' around,

statutes behind me
winding in an impossible wake, cause hard as I am
I don't think I could take
prison for even a day. "In that case you should live
lawfully"
