For ‘Crime 101,’ the action is the juice, even if it knows ‘Heat’ too well

The movie begins by showing our thief, Davis (Chris Hemsworth), carefully preparing for his heist – a process that’s obsessively neat, set to the calming voice of a meditation recording. This opening montage connects Davis with his targets – three diamond sellers whose elaborate security proves useless – and also introduces us to the daily lives of Lou Lubesnick (Mark Ruffalo), a somewhat messy LAPD detective, and Sharon (Halle Berry), an insurance broker who cares a lot about her appearance.
