A meticulous jewel thief risks his flawless record against an equally obsessive detective and a volatile rival, while an underestimated insurance broker turns accomplice after decades of professional disrespect.
- Chris CFebruary 18, 2026A stellar cast and nice acting help elevate what could have been a bog standard crime-thriller into a very solid movie. There are action scenes in the movie, but they're pretty small scale. Despite that, I couldn't help see parallels with the all-time-great "Heat", particularly between Hemsworth's and De Niro's characters—which is lofty company to be in. I appreciated that the ending provided closure without tying up all of the loose ends, while at the same time also feeling like it was not a setup for a sequel.
- Amir AnimashaunFebruary 20, 2026Don’t know where to begin with this tbh. One of the worst endings I’ve seen imo it was so weird. I went in blind thinking Chris Hemsworth was a detective working with Mark Ruffalo and Halle Berry’s characters. I did not know he was a THIEF! The good of this movie is the cinematography it looks gorgeous especially the drone work. The action and chase scenes were tense and I cared for Mark Ruffalo and Halle Berry’s character. The rest of this movie is hot garbage. The acting is horrendous I’m sorry Barry Keoghan was a train wreck his Irish accent was shining through his horrible somewhat American accent. Chris Hemsworth’s American accent was so unconvincing damn this movie is a mess and has problems. This did not need to be 2hrs and 20mins it’s so dragged out especially some of the scenes. Yeah the more I talk about this movie the angrier I get 🤣
- PapaHamzehJune 23, 2026"Honey look! Netflix remade Drive!" Is what my mind said. It was engaging, and im not unhappy I watched it. But, there was more here to eat that the kitchen decided not to serve me. Nick Nolte plotline felt unfulfilled, and the feel-good story with Ruffalo seemed forced. The most shocking thing about this movie was Hemsworth. I think he did quite well, even though I think his was given some not-so-good dialogue at times.
- vangh1March 3, 2026"Listen... I love the way they cheer for home. Nobody in LA does that." I feel like this one perfectly shoots the gap between complex and convoluted. You spend just the right amount of time wondering "Who is this and what are they up to?" before there's a well executed reveal. Pretty much everybody nails their performances. Mark Ruffalo is at the point in his career where you just know he's going to absolutely bring it, Barry Keoghan has 100% found his niche, and Monica Barbara has that breezy, seems effortless style here that just always works. It's probably fair to say it starts stronger than it ends, but it wraps up relatively well, not exactly in the way you'd expect, with a well earned conclusion for each of the characters. Apparently it plays as a Heat ripoff for a lot of people, and that movie remains one of the most glaring gaps in my watched list so maybe that benefited me.
- Hadi KoleilatJune 6, 2026Crime 101 is a slow-burn, stylish crime thriller driven by restrained performances from Chris Hemsworth and Mark Ruffalo. It focuses more on mood, precision, and character than action, which works beautifully at times but can feel a bit too slow in the middle. Well-acted, visually sharp, and thoughtful—but not for everyone.
- Jason LaytonApril 7, 2026One of those shows that are so much better than you realize as your watching it. Ruffalo is truly one of the best actors of his (and my) generation. Halle Berry and Chris Hemsworth are absolutely perfect and the Chef's kiss was Barry Keoghan who is well on his way to a huge career. Watch it twice.
