Set against the sun-bleached grit of Los Angeles, Crime 101 weaves the tale of an elusive jewel thief (Chris Hemsworth) whose string of heists along the 101 freeway have mystified police. When he eyes the score of a lifetime, his path crosses that of a disillusioned insurance broker (Halle Berry) who is facing her own crossroads. Convinced he has found a pattern, a relentless detective (Mark Ruffalo) is closing in, raising the stakes even higher. As the heist approaches, the line between hunter and hunted begins to blur, and all three are faced with life-defining choices--and the realization that there can be no turning back. Adapted from Don Winslow's acclaimed novella of the same name, the film is written and directed by Bart Layton (American Animals, The Imposter). Barry Keoghan, Monica Barbaro, Corey Hawkins, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Nick Nolte round out the cast.

3.5/5

The first-rate cast, especially Berry as a woman ready to make a major change in her life and Keoghan as a guy who wears his instability like a badge of honor, always keeps things intriguing, even when the plot verges on the predictable.

3/4

Chris Hemsworth leads a starry cast in a heist drama that fascinates even through a veil of familiarity. Near the end, a standout Halle Berry flashes a smile of sweet satisfaction. My guess is that you’ll feel the same way.

Stands alongside Michael Mann’s 'Heat' and William Friedkin’s 'To Live and Die in L.A.' as one of the great cinematic crime dramas.

4/5

An engrossing film that juxtaposes the growing desperation of good people coming to terms with a system that has let them down with the liberation of realizing that power is theirs for the taking.

Kept me on the edge of my seat. Reminded me of an old Steve McQueen movie! Loved that it was shot in LA.

Really awesome how they took four characters and wounded together just the ending. The people I went with and me did not care for because there wasn’t one.
