'Crime 101' review: This crime thriller is one of my favorite movies of the year so far

(L-R) Mark Ruffalo and Chris Hemsworth in "Crime 101".
Tom's Guide Verdict: 'Crime 101'
  • Rating: 3.5/5 stars
  • Verdict: "Crime 101" is an enjoyable crime drama that nearly achieves greatness. There are a few head-scratching moments, and the ending wraps things up the story too neatly, but you'll have a blast watching Chris Hemsworth, Barry Keoghan and Mark Ruffalo engaged in a potentially deadly game of cat and mouse. Or, like me, you'll spend the entire movie comparing it to "Heat," which I promise isn't me damning this new heist thriller with faint praise.
  • Where to watch: "Crime 101" premieres in theaters on Feb. 13

"Crime 101" is premiering in theaters this Friday (Feb. 13), and you might reasonably be wondering if you can wait to see this Amazon MGM Studios movie on Prime Video. Having seen it for myself, the short answer is that ... you could. There's nothing about the cinematography or production design of this crime thriller that demands the big screen. But despite that, I wouldn't wait to go see it, because this heist movie is one of my favorite movies of the year so far.
