Crime 101 — Is Chris Hemsworth Finally a "Serious" Actor? (Honest Review)

Описание: Crime 101 is in theaters right now — and after years of watching Chris Hemsworth try and fail to escape the shadow of Thor, we finally have a performance worth talking about. In this video, I give you the honest, no-fluff review of Crime 101 — including what the critics got right, what they missed, and whether this film finally settles the debate about what kind of actor Hemsworth actually is.

Crime 101 is directed by Bart Layton, the filmmaker behind American Animals and The Imposter — two of the most stylish, intelligent crime films of the last decade. It's based on the Don Winslow novella of the same name, adapted from the same author behind The Power of the Dog trilogy. Chris Hemsworth stars as Mike Davis, a jewel thief running heists along the 101 freeway in Los Angeles. Mark Ruffalo co-stars as the relentless detective trying to bring him down, while Halle Berry plays the insurance broker caught in the middle. Barry Keoghan, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Nick Nolte round out a genuinely serious cast.

The question this video answers: does Hemsworth actually belong in a film this serious? Owen Gleiberman at Variety called it one of his best performances. Critics at Rotten Tomatoes are calling it proof he's an underrated talent with real range. But is Crime 101 actually a great movie — or is it a solid one that gets credit for being better than expected? I break down the performance, the director's choices, the source material, and give you an honest comparison to the classics of the genre like Heat and Collateral.
