Chris Hemsworth and Mark Ruffalo are back on screen together for the fifth time. This time, they star in "Crime 101, " a new action-packed movie that had its big debut in London. Hemsworth plays Mike Davis, a clever thief who has been pulling off heists along the 101 Freeway without getting caught. Ruffalo is Detective Lou Lubesnick, who is hot on Davis's trail. The story takes an exciting turn when Davis teams up with Sharon, an insurance broker played by Halle Berry, for a major robbery. Hemsworth shared that he was the first to join the project. He loved the script so much that he immediately thought of Ruffalo. Ruffalo's reaction was just as enthusiastic. The actors clearly enjoy working together, and this collaboration is no exception.
In "Crime 101, " Davis is a unique character for Hemsworth. He had to step away from his usual action-hero persona and show a different side of himself. The movie also highlights the psychological battles between the characters, adding depth to the action. Halle Berry related to her character's struggles. Sharon is a high-performing woman who feels overlooked at work. Berry, who is 59, understands the frustration of feeling like the world is telling you your time is up. She refused to accept that and brought that determination to her role. The movie also stars Barry Keoghan, Monica Barbaro, and Nick Nolte. It is directed by Bart Layton and based on Don Winslow's 2020 novella. "Crime 101" will hit theaters worldwide on February 12.
