Summary
A sad-sack detective (Mark Ruffalo) is getting divorced, moving to the beach, and obsessed tracking down a thief that is untraceable. Naturally, rest of dept thinks his theory is crazy.
The thief (Chris Hemsworth) is meticulous, calm, and socially inept. He has fancy clothes, fancy car, fancy watch, fancy apartment all with no character. Naturally,
he falls in love, awkwardly, and decides one last big score. His boss decides he’s lost his edge and replaces him with a psycho thief.
Hemsworth then tries to recruit an insurance agent (Halle Berry) for high end customers to help him identify his victims. Of course, she’s put down on the job and gets fed up. After agreeing to help with the theft, Berry instead betrays him to Ruffalo.
For the final score, everything goes crazy, all the bad guys lose, all our characters are compromised, and they all live happily ever after.
Opinion
Mark Ruffalo looks like Peter Falk in Columbo. The story is almost good. I thought the title, Crime 101 was about learning how to do crime but really it’s referring to Highway 101 in California — that’s probably the best twist of the movie.
