I found Crime 101 to be an excellent, throwback heist thriller with real boots-on-the-ground filmmaking here in LA. This is another strong 2026 release for Cinema. The cast is A-List: Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Barry Keoghan, Monica Barbaro & Halle Berry. I recommend this.

Crime 101 is a delicious thriller from Bart Layton (who dir. heist-gone-wrong masterpiece American Animals) & noir genius @donwinslow (The Cartel) Loved the characters, story, style, tone, music, cars they shot in LA not f Toronto if you liked Heat, Drive, etc. you'll dig 👍

Watched “Crime 101,” the film adaptation of a novella by our Don Winslow. It was excellent! Completely satisfying! The balance between thrills, action, drama, character work, and foreshadowing is spot-on, all ultimately converging onto the central spine of the story: Highway 101. It reminded me of the kind of high-quality noir films I loved as a kid. Rather than leaning too heavily on extreme violence, excessive car chases, or nonstop gunplay, the film sustains tension through to the end while deeply exploring where each character is headed. It’s not about justice or good and evil, nor about law or ethics. Instead, a sense of “love” for the characters and an almost chivalric code of “honor” quietly and satisfyingly come to fruition in the final moments. At one point I found myself thinking, “What if Michael Mann had directed this original story?” But director Bart Layton skillfully draws out Don’s deep affection for Steve McQueen. The cast is stacked with actors known for playing comic-book “superheroes”, Thor, Hulk, Storm, and Druig, yet by treating each character’s background with sincerity, the film succeeds in letting the delicate emotions of “the pursuer,” “the pursued,” and “those caught in between” naturally seep into their actions — something many post-Tarantino noir films seem to have lost. And it was a real pleasure to see Nick Nolte on screen as well.

CRIME 101 is a rock-solid crime thriller. It’s slickly crafted, tightly written, and filled to the brim with compelling characters and a moody, immersive LA atmosphere. Think Heat combined with Drive with a dash of Collateral and you’ve got yourself an old fashioned winner!

I’m a BIG fan of CRIME 101 — it’s the kind of classy heist thriller we don’t see much of these days. Think OUT OF SIGHT or Michael Mann’s THIEF, or even HEAT. Slickly made and well cast, it’s got explosive action moments, but it’s also about getting older, putting in the work and fighting for what you’ve earned. Definitely an early 2026 favorite - well done all around!

#Crime101 is the first GREAT film of 2026. @AmazonMGMStudio was smart by releasing this into theaters and not to streaming. STACKED cast. The film is suspenseful throughout with a VERY satisfying ending. You NEED to see @Crime101Movie on February 13
