“Doesn’t matter how much many you make, it’s never enough.” “I’ll know when I have enough…” Amazon MGM Studios has unveiled the first official trailer for a California crime thriller called Crime 101, another strangely basic titled for a film that looks more complex than it sounds. It’s set for a theatrical release in February 2026 on account of this excellent cast. The film is centered on detective Lou Lubesnick, played by Ruffalo, tracking a complex jewel thief who is adhering to the “Crime 101” rules – a strict set of guidelines for the perfect heist without ever being caught. The 101 is also a reference to the location along the iconic 101 freeway – California’s Pacific Coast Highway. Based on Don Winslow’s short story of the same name. As the big multimillion-dollar heist approaches, the line between hunter and hunted begins to blur, and all of the players are forced to confront the cost of their choices – and the realization that there’s no turning back. The fabulous full cast includes Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo as the detective, Barry Keoghan, Monica Barbaro, Corey Hawkins, Jennifer Jason Leigh, with Nick Nolte and Halle Berry. This looks like it might actually be an intriguing, exciting thriller with some clever twists & turns. Will they finally catch him?

Set against the sun-bleached grit of Los Angeles, Crime 101 weaves the tale of an elusive thief (Chris Hemsworth) whose high-stakes heists unfolding along the iconic 101 freeway have mystified police. When he eyes the score of a lifetime with hopes of this being his final job, his path collides with a disillusioned insurance broker (Halle Berry) who is facing her own crossroads, forcing them to collaborate. Determined to crack the case, a relentless detective (Mark Ruffalo) closes in on the operation, raising the stakes even higher. As the multimillion-dollar heist approaches, the line between hunter and hunted begins to blur, and all three are forced to confront the cost of their choices–and the realization that there’s no turning back. Crime 101 is written and directed by British producer / writer / filmmaker Bart Layton, director of the films The Imposter and American Animals previously, plus a few other TV movies. Adapted from Don Winslow’s acclaimed novella of the same name. Produced by Tim Bevan, Eric Fellner, Derrin Schlesinger, Dimitri Doganis, Bart Layton, Shane Salerno, Chris Hemsworth, Benjamin Grayson.
