Short films about crime and morality.

The best crime stories are not really about the crime; they are about the line a person is willing to cross, and what is left of them afterwards. Short films can put you right at that edge and hold you there. These films are hand-picked, complete, and free to watch. Stories about right, wrong, and the blurry ground between.

Billie sits at a poker table where Billie dreams of revenge, and Botching reimagines the heist, with robots. Bad Penny follows an antiques dealer haunted by a cursed object, while A Moral Man turns a controversial spotlight on assisted suicide.

The best short films about crime and morality leave the verdict to you. Appetite follows a predatory dater who always runs off when the bill comes, and Damage Control watches the fallout when a beloved comedian is accused of sexual assault. Curated by our editors and free to stream in all 193 countries, no fee and no sign-up. Hit play, and decide for yourself.
