Peneflix MOVIE REVIEWS BY PENEFLIX
Stunningly styled, sensationally scripted, an air-tight plot reminiscent of films of legacy, movies like “Bullitt”, “French Connection”; actors at their peak, in absolute, believable control of their characters. A compelling film, satisfyingly perfect, based on Don Winslow’s novella directed and written by Bart Layton and Don Winslow, performed by: Chris Hemsworth as polished, nonviolent jewel thief “Mike Davis”, Halle Berry, in a remarkable, transformative role as insurance executive “Sharon”, seasoned Mark Ruffalo as perceptive detective “Lou”; daring to be different actor Berry Keoghan is inimitable as motorcycle maniac “Ormon”; smaller but quintessential characters depicted by Monica Barbaro, Nick Nolte, Jennifer Jason Leigh increase the dynamic narrative and consummative outcome of the scenario. “101” LA refers to the freeway that determines the jewelry stores our decent-hearted thief stalks, victimizes and escapes, intelligence and diligence inform his quests.
The underlying success of “Crime 101” lies in the weaving into a flawless tapestry the protagonists, surprising viewers with their connectedness, a prodigious “one frame after another”.
FOUR STARS!!!!
