Movie Info & Cast
Synopsis
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.

Moviegoers are saying
This LA crime thriller divides audiences between those craving Heat-style heist drama and Barry Keoghan skeptics, but most agree the cast—especially a surprisingly sexy Mark Ruffalo and flexing Chris Hemsworth—elevate slick cinematography and Blanck Mass scoring into something genuinely engaging. While some find it overstuffed with storylines, fans praise its stylized approach to moral corruption and the satisfying way it systematically breaks each character's breaking point.

AliFeb 9, 2026Boring people will call it a less good Heat dupe, but I think LA is big enough for many movies about master thieves struggling to navigate their personal and professional lives. Sleek looking picture, adored the use of reflections, the camera mounted to car doors, the…

can barry keoghan stop jump scaring me every time he appears in a film 😭
allain♡Feb 13, 2026Designedly sprawling and diffuse in between its allusions, with a decently Friedkin-ish car chase, careful location scouting, and big stars playing slightly to the side of type. Everybody involved seems to be engaged by the low-key realism of the material; Hemsworth and…
Adam NaymanFeb 9, 2026Basically everyone in this movie is at their sexiest. Yes, even worn-down cop Mark Ruffalo…. Maybe especially worn-down cop Mark Ruffalo. The type of high-intensity, lavishly-stylized, LA crime thriller that I could watch a million versions of and always be stoked for…

- Clay Werner likedCrime 101
8.0 - Tense, stylish, crime/heist thrillers are probably my favorite (nano?)genre. They just never really miss. It’s super derivative & standardized but the chase scenes & robberies had me on the edge of my seat, & the score & pace had my pulse pounding. It just could have benefited from a little…
Skylar Sturgis dislikedCrime 101too many big actors, had to give them all screen time. plots so unnecessary, wasted so much time. halle berry served little to no purpose for plot besides maybe girl boss moment. this could have been an email.
kristi likedCrime 101chris is so good and so hot. movie is definitely missing some, but to the point where i’d expect a sequel, not to the point where im disappointed w the ending. story is decent and everything works out pretty much as you’d expect, but i wanted more. more info, more action, more story building. just…

It was really fun, the tension was turned up to 100%. All the actors acted really well. I swear Barry Keoghan always plays someone just screwed up in the head.
Sam MacKay lovedCrime 1018.7/10 - Star-studded, taught, perfect for a trip to the movies
Thomas Joyce likedCrime 101Crime 101 is another winner for 2026 - good to see the momentum continuing. I suspect there will be a lot of Heat comparisons that will be unjustified; I think inspiration is taken, sure, but it borrows from many in the genre - whilst also doing its own thing too. What we actually get is a wide,…
- Garmelie likedCrime 101
This is a movie that FELT like a lot of things. It feels incredibly stylish, there’s a lot of swagger throughout this script and within these characters, characters are acted rather well, and their chemistry is all there. It feels intense, cinematography is unique and especially in vehicle…
sethosaurus lovedCrime 101honestly really enjoyed my time, I love these sorts of movies. It’s fast paced and doesn’t give you a break at all. The cast was also phenomenal with Chris Hemsworth and Halle Berry absolutely shining the way thru, but most important of all I absolutely loved the support from Barry Keoghan what…
Giorgio lovedCrime 101Crime 101 feels like a fresh breeze in this era of sci fi , reminds me how good was 90s-2000s era with thrilling stories. Went to watch as a hemsworth fan; and became a fan of Barry keoghan's acting. That guy is amazing. It doesn't feel like bart Layton is new to directing movies - felt like a…

Too much unnecessary swearing. Cut out the (5000) F bombs, and make this PG13 and you’ve got yourself a fantastic movie.
OHOzz HarrisonThis movie is great, it is truly refreshing to see Chris hemsworth in something that’s not a super hero movie.
RTRamon TaylorMovie had me the entire time.

This is a special movie. It has a life force unlike any other crime thriller I’ve seen. It’s about characters who suffer a personal failure but emerge transformed. It’s a violent movie, but not a cruel one, and unexpectedly moving by the end.

An extremely down-to-earth, character-driven heist movie that in the best ways resembles similar fare from the 1990s.

Layton is a confident storyteller and the various subplots in Winslow’s pulpy scenario converge elegantly, even if they’re a bit secondhand.
