An exciting star-studded new thriller movie is now streaming at home

The film features a scene-stealing supporting turn by an Irish actor.

Based on a novella by acclaimed author Don Winslow (Savages), the movie is set in Los Angeles. It revolves around Mike Davis (Chris Hemsworth, Bad Times at the El Royale), an elusive jewel thief whose string of non-violent heists along the 101 freeway has mystified police.

Lou (Spotlight's Mark Ruffalo, at his most delightfully Peter Falk), a dedicated cop, is the only one on his force who believes the robberies are all the work of one man.

As the detective closes in on Mike, the gentleman thief plans one final score, so that he can perhaps ride off into the sunset with his new love (a radiant Monica Barbaro, A Complete Unknown).

When a disillusioned insurance broker (X-Men's Halle Berry, reminding viewers what a star she is) and a younger rival robber (Barry Keoghan, The Banshees of Inisherin) become entangled in Mike's plot, the stakes grow even higher.

JOE gave Crime 101 a rave review upon its cinema release in February. In particular, we praised the film's contemporary themes, its thrilling action set-pieces, and the way it differentiated itself from the classic '90s heist flick Heat.

We also singled out Irish actor Barry Keoghan's scene-stealing supporting turn as Ormon, a biker rival to Hemsworth's Mike who prefers brute force to meticulous planning.

"While it isn't the deepest role on paper, Keoghan imbues the part with a live-wire, feral energy, as well as almost boyish patheticness, and almost walks away with the picture in the process," our review said.

The Irish actor also shared footage with JOE, where he can be seen carrying out some of the same motorbike wheelies as his character in Crime 101.
