Crime 101 opened to rave reviews by critics from different publications. NPR praises Crime 101’s innovative version of the classic heist genre, writing, “Bart Layton's movie boasts a slate of top-notch stars and puts a nifty, self-conscious spin on the old-fashioned heist picture. Hopscotching through Los Angeles' glamor and grit, the action centers on three solitary characters, each at a personal Rubicon.”

The Guardian commends director Bart Layton for his latest work. “Layton does without the distinctive indirect mannerisms and meta-commentaries of his earlier movies, but he applies his pedal to the metal for what is an enjoyable and very stylish high-stakes armed robbery film about a thief who is highly controlled, super-cool, super-groomed, and naturally looking for the “walkaway money” of the time-honoured one last job,” they write.

The Roger Ebert site gives the film a three point five out of four stars, writing, “This is a special movie. It has a life force unlike any other crime thriller I’ve seen. It’s about characters who suffer a personal failure but emerge transformed. It’s a violent movie, but not a cruel one, and unexpectedly moving by the end.”

Crime 101 is now showing in Philippine cinemas nationwide.

About Crime 101:

In the twisty, stylish crime thriller CRIME 101, Davis (Chris Hemsworth) is an elusive thief whose high-stakes heists have mystified police. He’s planning his biggest ever score — hoping it’ll be his last — when his path collides with Sharon (Halle Berry), a disillusioned insurance executive whom he’s forced to work with, and Orman (Barry Keoghan), a rival thief with far more disturbing methods than Davis's. As the multi-million dollar heist approaches, relentless detective Lt. Lubesnik (Mark Ruffalo) closes in on the operation, raising the stakes even higher, and the line between hunter and hunted starts to blur. Each of them is soon forced to confront the cost of their respective choices — and the realization that there's no turning back. CRIME 101 is written and directed by Bart Layton (American Animals, The Imposter).

HAMNET Movie Review – A Tale of Love, Loss, Grief, and Hope

 By: Edgar Allan E. Yu 

               Photo Credit: Universal Pictures   

Few films in recent memory have captured the raw essence of family, love, and heartbreak as powerfully as "HAMNET". Inspired by Maggie O’Farrell’s acclaimed 2020 historical fiction novel—which imagines the emotional roots behind Shakespeare’s iconic play "Hamlet"—this cinematic adaptation is both intimate and epic in scope. At its heart lies the poignant story of Will and Agnes whose modest life together is brought to vivid life through stunning performances and sensitive direction.

Paul Mescal delivers a quietly affecting turn as Will, but it’s Jesse Buckley who truly commands the screen. Buckley gives what can only be described as the performance of her career; her emotional range—grief-stricken yet resilient—is nothing short of breathtaking. The chemistry between Mescal and Buckley anchors the film with authenticity that lingers long after the credits roll.

The supporting cast shines just as brightly. Young Jacobi Jupe is utterly endearing as Hamnet—a boy full of curiosity and deep affection for his twin sister. His naturalism brings innocence and vulnerability to every scene he inhabits. Adding another layer to this family dynamic is Noah Jupe (Jacobi’s real-life older brother), who plays Hamlet in a mesmerizing theater sequence within the film’s final act. The last 20 minutes are unforgettable, culminating in an emotionally charged performance that will leave you speechless.

Director Chloe Zhao approaches this material with a delicate touch, grounding grand themes in everyday moments that feel both realistic and deeply relatable. The cinematography may be simple, but it beautifully frames each scene—inviting us into a world where hope persists amidst overwhelming grief.

If you appreciate films that are destined for awards season glory or simply want to experience one of 2025’s most moving stories on screen, "HAMNET" is an absolute must-see. It stands tall not only as a masterful adaptation but also as one of 2025’s finest achievements in cinema—a tale where love endures even through loss.

A jewel thief, a broker, and a detective. Meet the lineup of characters in “Crime 101,” starring Chris Hemsworth, Halle Berry, and Mark Ruffalo In PH cinemas Feb 18

 

Fates collide in the high stakes crime thriller Crime 101, starring Chris Hemsworth, Halle Berry, Mark Ruffalo. An elusive jewel thief prepares for the job of a lifetime, while a disillusioned insurance broker stands at the precipice of her career, and as they cross paths, a detective hot in pursuit gets closer and closer to unraveling who is behind all the high-profile jewel heists along the Southern California coast. Crime 101 is written, directed, and produced by Bart Layton, based on the hit novella of the same name by Don Winslow.

Assembling the perfect cast is akin to planning a flawless heist, and veteran producer Eric Fellner, co-chair of Working Title Films, wanted A-list actors that can pull off the job with the intensity and dedication needed for Crime 101. “You can talk about them being a great cast in terms of their names, but they're also phenomenal actors,” Fellner says. “Every single one of them brings their character into the world beautifully.”

Watch the trailer: https://youtu.be/jnrf3f4PVXI

Leading the pack is Chris Hemsworth, who plays Davis, the prolific jewel thief whose life of crime has left him isolated and mistrustful. For this character, Layton and his partner producer Dimitri Doganis took a journalistic approach and interviewed real-life criminals who specialize in pilfering precious jewels.“For us, that isn't unusual. That is absolutely the standard place that one starts building a story. Real people, real experiences,” Doganis says. “Then you make sure that what you are doing really feels like it's anchored in truth. I think that's what we were always struggling for, even with something which is entirely invented. It has to plug into broader truths about who we are and how we live and what we want if it's going to stay with people. Both jewel thieves and the policemen who chased them were really important sources to get certain details.”

Caught in the fallout of Davis’ actions is longtime insurance broker Sharon Coombs, played by Halle Berry. The string of thefts unfortunately coincide with Coombs’ elite clientele, and at a pivotal point in her career, she feels only frustration in her current position. “One of the reasons I was really attracted to this movie when Bart first talked to me was because I think it's very poignant,” Berry says. “It speaks to who we are as women today, and women in midlife, and how we are often discarded and we are devalued. I've been on a tear to bring our second acts to the forefront, because so many of us have struggled in the workplace.”

Working with Hemsworth and Ruffalo is also a treat for Berry, who has nothing but praise for her co-stars. “This is one of the best movie making experiences I've ever had, and that's a lot to say when you've been doing this for 30 years,” Berry says. “But between Chris, Bart and Mark, I have never felt more cared for, more respected, more listened to, and more supported.”

Hot on Davis’ heels is Detective “Lou” Lubesnik, played by Mark Ruffalo. Loyal to the law and obsessed with capturing those that defy it. Ruffalo was excited to land the role, and collaborated heavily with everyone involved to bring Detective Lubesnik to life. “I was really excited about this when it came along,” Ruffalo says. “My talks with Bart were great. There was a lot of back and forth about the character and just how to punch out some of those moral themes to make the suspense better.”

Hemsworth remarks that there’s more in common between their characters, who are in a high stakes game of cat-and-mouse, than one would think. “We see Mark Ruffalo as someone who has never really been given his due or been taken seriously, as he deserves,” Hemsworth says. “There's a slight self-sabotaging nature about the way the character operates. He's kind of at that point in his life where he's asking the question: is this as good as it gets? Have I run my course now or is there more to be had?”

Crime 101 set in motion in Philippine cinemas starting February 18.
