Starting April 1st, Prime Video will be streaming a highly-rated new crime thriller. The film, based on a popular story, has been praised by both critics and viewers for its compelling, old-fashioned noir style. Expect plenty of heists, exciting action, and a surprising emotional depth – it’s definitely worth watching when it becomes available in the next few weeks.
Despite some jokes about its name, Crime 101 is a gripping thriller that showcases the talents of its impressive cast. Featuring Chris Hemsworth, Halle Berry, and Mark Ruffalo, the story unfolds in sunny Los Angeles, where a skilled jewel thief (Hemsworth) thinks he’s found the perfect target in a stressed-out insurance agent (Berry). As the detective (Ruffalo) relentlessly pursues him, a daring new robbery is planned, driving all three characters to their breaking points.
Crime 101 is a Reminder of the Golden Era of Crime Thrillers Past
Though it doesn’t break new ground, Crime 101 feels like a classic action movie, but with surprisingly well-developed characters who feel authentic. Some viewers found it too long, but that length actually allows the story to unfold naturally and gives it more impact. Critic Adam Schoales describes the film as “a thrilling, old-fashioned crime drama” that brings to mind genre classics like Heat and The Thomas Crown Affair.
The movie received very positive reviews, with critics giving it an 89% rating and general audiences an 85% – a significant achievement, particularly considering the high expectations that come with such a talented and famous cast. The actors, including Barry Keoghan, Nick Nolte, and Jennifer Jason Leigh, had great chemistry, which built suspense and made the film consistently engaging. At its heart, the story explores universal themes of wanting freedom, escaping unhappiness, and the need for acceptance and meaningful connections.
