Crime 101 Ratings & Reviews
- Eastcoastsid1d agoEntertaining.
- 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.
- Nerd flix2d agoRuffalo woke fest
- 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 🤣
- neuroparadox4d ago"Mr. Layton, I have Michael Mann on the line for you. He sounds upset."
- Rob Logan | The Geek Generation6d agoCrime 101 is an enjoyable film that's shot and edited incredibly well. The entire cast nails it, despite some accent creep from Hemsworth and Keoghan. There's a high bar set from movies in a similar genre and comparisons are bound to happen, but this film stands competently on its own even if it's not reinventing the wheel. Lastly, while Monica Barbaro is always a welcome presence, I didn't buy the relationship between her character and Hemsworth. Their brief storyline could have been removed without sacrificing much, if anything.
- PlexecutionerXMarch 29, 2026Great movie; horrible ending. This one could be up there with the likes of Heat or The Town. Long captivating movie with a great cast, but they had to have their safe Hollywood ending. Oh well, it was still a great flick.
- Oʂɯαʅԃσ RσყҽƚƚFebruary 20, 2026This is an all-star cast. All four are highly talented with great screen presence. It's great to see beast Halle Berry again. And Barry Keoghan plays such a wild and memorable character (more about his performance than depth in the writing)
- 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.
- faze37d agoNot what I was expecting. Was just ok. But something was missing. Wish it was better with the amount of big names that was in it
- 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.
- MarkApril 9, 2026Good, thought this would be some slow moving bullshit film ,(I was wrong) looking at the advertised picture for the film. Didn't get me thinking I want to watch this ,but I did.
- fuse187March 16, 2026CRIME 101 is exactly the kind of "cat-and-mouse" thriller l've been craving. It doesn't rely on mindless explosions; instead, it treats the audience like adults, focusing on the high-stakes chess match between two professionals who are arguably the best at what they do. The tension is built through silence and precision rather than noise. I found myself strangely torn, shifting my loyalty between the hunter and the hunted as the lines between "good" and "bad" started to blur. Seeing these heavy hitters go head-to-head on screen felt like a throwback to classic 90s crime dramas, where the meticulous planning is just as exciting as the payoff. It's gritty, smart, and doesn't overstay its welcome. If you're into films where the characters are always three steps ahead of the police (and the audience), this is a must-watch.
- Doc Worm7d agoWhile competently shot, written, directed and acted, this movie is painfully flat. It has a respectable ensemble cast, but for what? There’s hardly any tension, propulsion or heart. The whole time I found myself thinking, ‘who cares?’ ‘Where’s this going?’. Nowhere man. It went nowhere. It has nothing to say. One of the most paint by numbers crime dramas I’ve ever seen. Bonus points for letting Barry Keoghan do his freaky lil thang tho 😜
- Dkla777March 13, 2026Surprisingly good.
