Son, Logan, and I went to the theater and saw Crime 101. A heist caper movie set in present day Los Angeles about a jewelry thief, who never hurt or killed anyone on his robberies, and who worked exclusively along “The 101” in southern California.

You got a varied cast here. A good bad, and a bad bad guy, who doesn’t mind killing or hurting people. A good bad woman by Halle Berre playing an insurance executive peeved about not making partner in her firm. A good, good woman who makes it her mission to redeem the good bad guy. And an old cop, played by Mark Ruffalo, giving off great Columbo vibes in his role who gets a little mouthy and gets suspended. (Suspended cops make for the best movie detectives.)

So I am not going to give you the plot. Check out IMDB and Wikipedia for that along with the whole cast and all that. My job is to tell you if it was a good movie or not.

And heck yeah it’s a great movie. These kind of movies need to have beautiful women, men that guys can identify with, complicated plots and schemes, cynical cops, and greedy rich people. Also necessary are great car chases, fierce gun battles, glamorous restaurants, and romances without cringey sex scenes. This movie fits the bill.

I give it five stars out of five. Keep the kids home. It should be out on Prime soon.
