Tragikomedie Woody Allena vypráví paralelně příběhy dvou hlavních postav: jednou z nich je úspěšný oční lékař, který nechá zabít svou nepohodlnou milenku a zachrání tím svou rodinu; druhým je neurotický a neúspěšný dokumentarista, natáčející portrét svého opovrhovaného úspěšného švagra, který mu nakonec ještě přebere ženu, kterou miluje. ZLOČINY A POKLESKY jsou jedním z Allenových "vážných" filmů, z nichž je cítit jeho skeptický, až depresivní pohled na současnost, ovšem zároveň v něm probleskuje i Allenův humor, takže divák osciluje mezi smíchem a smutkem.
