Crime 101 (2026) — English Crime

In Los Angeles, Mike Davis (Chris Hemsworth) is a meticulous jewel thief who follows a strict code: avoid violence, leave no trace, and always escape via the 101 freeway. His latest heist targets a diamond delivery, but an unexpected bullet grazes him, prompting him to reconsider his plans. Meanwhile, Detective Lou Lubesnick (Mark Ruffalo) is determined to catch the elusive thief, believing a single suspect is behind a series of unsolved robberies. Their paths intersect when Mike seeks the assistance of Sharon Coombs (Halle Berry), a disillusioned insurance broker, for a high-stakes heist. As the heist approaches, the line between hunter and hunted begins to blur, leading to life-defining choices for all involved. Directed by Bart Layton, "Crime 101" is a crime thriller that delves into themes of morality, ego, and personal desperation. The film pays homage to classics like Michael Mann's "Heat," featuring intense car chases and a cat-and-mouse dynamic between the thief and detective. Critics have praised the film for its stylish direction and strong performances, particularly from Hemsworth and Berry. However, some reviews note that while the film is entertaining, it doesn't break new ground in the genre. "Crime 101" premiered in London on January 28, 2026, and was released in the United States on February 13, 2026. Despite its star-studded cast and homage to classic heist films, the movie underperformed at the box office, grossing $72.8 million worldwide against a $90 million budget. The film is available for streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
