Is Crime 101 just another slick heist movie — or is it elevated by its cast?

Chris Hemsworth plays a jewel thief shaken by a robbery gone wrong. Mark Ruffalo hunts him down as a detective whose life is unraveling. Halle Berry plays an insurance adjuster navigating power, age, and ambition.

In this episode, Silas breaks down:

  • Why strong acting can transform a familiar genre

  • Whether novella adaptations make better films than novels

  • Why February releases sometimes surprise us

  • And where Crime 101 lands on the Love It / Like It / Lose It scale

Final verdict: A solid Like It.
