The 101 in the title refers to the juncture at which the high-speed freeways of Los Angeles converge. In the film, Hemsworth plays a jewel thief whose operations involves the least damage, and has specific, reasonable motivations for his actions.
Halle Berry plays Sharon Colvin, an insurance broker, while Ruffalo plays the detective assigned to bring down Hemsworth's character. Barry Keoghan plays a younger thief who isn't afraid of going ruthless when needed.
In its review of the film, THE WEEK wrote: "Die-hard fans of Michael Mann's cinema — "Thief", "Heat" — will take delight in filmmaker Bart Layton's venture into similar territory. You'll see visual and thematic nods throughout the film. However, it has a distinct energy and tone that veers from the darker and cynical trajectories of Mann's films. Based on Don Winslow's novella, "Crime 101" is pulsating with nervous energy from the get-go."
