Crime 101, now on Prime.

[d.anders]

So much buzz about this heist film online. It has 88% on Rotten Tomatoes, even though it bombed at the box office. Desperate to be entertained, I watched it, and found most of it to be pretty dull, and far from clever. The music was good, driving most of the thrill.

Chris Hemsworth is always fun to watch, but he deserves better than this. Halle Berry is good, but she, too, deserves more. Barry Keoghan's character was a joke. Nick Nolte appeared to be embalmed, grunting his way through. And Mark Ruffalo tried as best he could, given this mediocre material.

I don't know what the critics were thinking on this one. It's pure fantasy, and not really a good one. I think people are just desperate for something new to watch, and I get that. But crap is crap, no matter what fragrance spray you reach for.
