    The Genius of Crime (French: Le Génie du crime) is a 2006 Canadian comedy-drama film directed by Louis Bélanger and written by Thérèse Bérubé.[1] An adaptation of George F. Walker's stage play Criminal Genius, the film stars Gilles Renaud as Rolly and Patrick Drolet as Stevie, two criminal hoodlums who are hired by Shirley (Anne-Marie Cadieux) to burn down the restaurant of her rival Mike (Robert Morin), only to instead end up kidnapping Amanda (Julie Le Breton), the restaurant's chef and Mike's daughter.[2]

    The film's cast also includes François Papineau as Phillie, the manager of the motel where they are hiding out.

    The film premiered at the Abitibi-Témiscamingue International Film Festival on October 28, 2006.[3]

    The film received two Jutra Award nominations at the 9th Jutra Awards in 2007, for Best Costume Design (Anne Duceppe) and Best Hair (Martin Rivest).[4]
