Trailer
Crime 101
140 minutes
Writer/director Bart Layton (American Animals) should probably be paying Michael Mann royalties, but his LA heist film is a slick, fun time.
This is an ultra stylish armed robbery thriller about a thief who is highly controlled, super-cool, super-groomed, and naturally looking for the “walkaway money” of the time-honoured one last job. Mike (Chris Hemsworth) commits jewel robberies with the laudably nonviolent precision of a ballet-dancer. He is controlled by a leathery old tough guy called Money (Nick Nolte), who once mentored Mike out of foster care and into crime. But Mike’s hits are all along California’s Route 101, a pattern spotted by LAPD’s single honest cop, detective Lubesnick (Mark Ruffalo), as dishevelled and smart as Columbo.
Halle Berry and Barry Keoghan round out the cast, the former a glamorous, put-upon insurance underwriter for high network individuals, the latter a psychotic criminal brought in by Mike to undercut him on a job.
The result is several cuts above the usual film with DNA from Mann’s Heat and Thief. It’s a film that revs the engine entertainingly and loudly. A watchable spectacle, leaving a sizzling streak of rubber on the tarmac.

Parking in Berkhamsted is very difficult but there is road parking along Three Close Lane. Please allow time to find somewhere to park. We meet between (or near to) the two doors in the bar.
