Star-Studded Thriller Now Streaming for Home Viewing
Prime Video has added Crime 101 to its catalogue. The star-studded cast helped the film arrive at streaming shortly after its theatrical run.
Plot and setting
The film adapts a novella by Don Winslow. It unfolds in Los Angeles along the 101 freeway.
Chris Hemsworth plays Mike Davis, an elusive jewel thief. His string of non-violent heists has baffled investigators.
Cast and characters

- Halle Berry as a disillusioned insurance broker.
- Barry Keoghan as Ormon, a rival robber on a motorbike.
Detective vs. thief
Ruffalo’s Lou believes all robberies are the work of one man. He is the lone cop who closes the net on Mike.
Mike plans a final job. He hopes the score lets him escape with his new partner in life.
Scene-stealing supporting turn
Barry Keoghan draws attention with a raw, live-wire performance as Ormon. The role leans on brute force over careful planning.

Critical reception

Critics also highlighted the movie’s effort to distinguish itself from classic ’90s heist pictures like Heat.
