Short summary

After getting beat up by her obnoxious rich-guy boyfriend at a swanky party, Britney chooses to go with a rough criminal who came to her rescue, and together, a la Bonnie and Clyde, they rob a store, get pursued, and cornered, by the police, but miraculously, inexplicably, survive a hail of bullets while locked in a passionate embrace, racing away afterward.

Trailers "Britney Spears: Criminal (2011)"

The short video was filmed in Stoke Newington, London. It features Britney Spears as a woman in upper society and follows her relationship with a criminal, played by her then real-life boyfriend and soon fiancé-to-be Jason Trawick.

Prior to its release, London officials criticized Britney Spears for shooting scenes with a replica gun and "glamorizing" violence.

Director Chris Marrs Piliero considered working with Jason Trawick a challenge at first because it was his first job as an actor.

It was Britney Spears' idea to shoot the video in London. She had never filmed out of America before.

    Yes, better than it is given credit for. It's only flaw is that this is child star/teenage pop idol Britney, and now that she has grown up, the fanfare has died down, and we just long for the old days. Indeed, the first scene of the music video, she looks bored, as well she should be, the script calls for it, that is what causes the confrontation with her jerk boyfriend, but she also looks older than she is, way older, way, way, way older, and that, especially so early on in the music video, is a fatal flaw. When she hits her stride, she looks absolutely stunning, she basically updates herself, reinventing herself for the Teenies, but this seems to have gone unnoticed, this video I have yet to obtain on DVD, it's not on the local Now series. I suspect this one is overlooked in favor of other more-in-demand stars yet I fail to see the wonder in many of those, for even in her descent, Britney is a hell of a lot more intriguing to watch, and that is a big compliment from me.

    Ever notice that Britney's rivals in her music videos tend to be brunettes? In this Bonnie and Clyde mini-movie, just like in the later PERFUME, we also see Britney in lingerie, on a bed with her lover, and in a bathroom with the exact kind of perfume bottle.

    I downloaded from Tubidy, mp4 format at least, thank you, but would have liked to buy this one on an actual DVD.

    so yes she is. Britney Spears and her criminal boyfriend somehow managed to escape all the shooting from the police and flee on a motorbike. The boyfriend is played by Jason Trawyck, Britney's former fiancé and agent.

    The song is okay. A bit catchy and she has done much worse in the past, but better already too. There is not really much acting talent needed here. The crime story rushed in here is really just the frame for Britney's singing. Other than that, early on there is a party and afterward we see these modern Bonnie & Clyde rob a store in this 6-minute music video directed by Chris Marrs Piliero. The actual singing starts after about 100 seconds. Solid watch for Britney fans, but if you are not one of these you can give it a pass.
