Chris Hemsworth and Barry Keoghan’s “special” crime thriller has just landed on Prime Video

by

The highly-rated crime thriller Crime 101, featuring Chris Hemsworth and Barry Keoghan, is now available to stream on Prime Video in the UK. It also stars Halle Berry and Mark Ruffalo and is a great choice for fans of heist movies.

The movie, written and directed by Bart Layton, is adapted from Don Winslow’s 2020 short novel of the same title. It stars Chris Hemsworth as a professional jewel thief in Los Angeles.

A tired detective (Ruffalo) investigates a series of robberies happening near the 101 highway. The thief is skilled at covering their tracks, but after a botched robbery, the pressure starts to mount.

The crime thriller, which came out in UK and US cinemas in January and February, is now available to stream on Prime Video. Because it’s an Amazon MGM Studios film, it became available for streaming sooner than most movies.

In the movie, Keogh plays a fiery biker determined to take down Hemsworth’s character. Monica Barbaro is the thief’s romantic partner, and Berry plays an unhappy insurance broker.
