It’s disappointing to watch a movie like “Crime 101” underperform at the box office, unable to recoup its $90M production cost. Not only is it a slick, gripping thriller with a stacked cast, but its marketing basically positioned it as a throwback to classic heist movies, which you’d think would make it even more appealing. Sadly, Bart Layton’s film didn’t get the attention it deserved back in February.
But now that “Crime 101” has landed on Prime Video (as an Amazon Original), the movie hasn’t wasted time grabbing the No. 1 spot, which gives me hope it’ll get talked about more over the next few days. This is one of 2026’s most gripping thrillers so far, with the tension and character the heist genre is known for, backed by an especially strong set of performances.
