Crime-fighting in a New York that no longer knows his name, he’s devoted himself entirely to protecting his city — a full-time Spider-Man — but as the demands on him intensify, the pressure sparks a surprising physical evolution that threatens his existence, even as a strange new pattern of crimes gives rise to one of the most powerful threats he has ever faced.

Revolving around the antics of old school detective Lou (Mark Ruffalo), who is falling out of favour with the higher-ups in his all-consuming quest to take down a successful bandit. One who uses the brain instead of brawn to complete his audacious transgressions. Lou is also in the midst of a number of life-changing moments. His wife Angie (Jennifer Jason Leigh) is leaving him, and his superiors are running out of patience with his single-mindedness.

Into this situation, we are dropped in the city of Los Angeles, and it adds an important element to the story. The discrepancies between the haves and have-nots in this ever-evolving metropolis rumble underneath almost every scene. There are a number of high-power action pieces that stitch together the story and keep things moving along nicely. There is also the contrast between the staid nature of the criminal Davis and the explosive antics of fellow crim Ormon (Barry Keoghan), who creates havoc everywhere he goes.

Even though all the characters in Crime 101follow a somewhat traditional story arc, there are a number of surprises coming your way. As things progress and the tension ramps up in the final reel, you are seemingly led to a point where you feel certain of the outcome for all the parties involved. But here is where the film really delivers, and you are actually given a resolution much more satisfying and life-affirming than expected.

When he eyes the score of a lifetime, his path crosses that of a disillusioned insurance broker (Halle Berry) who is facing her own crossroads. Convinced he has found a pattern, a relentless detective (Mark Ruffalo) is closing in, raising the stakes even higher.

As the heist approaches, the line between hunter and hunted begins to blur, and all three are faced with life-defining choices–and the realization that there can be no turning back.

Adapted from Don Winslow’s acclaimed novella of the same name, the film is written and directed by Bart Layton (American Animals, The Imposter). Barry Keoghan, Monica Barbaro, Corey Hawkins, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Nick Nolte round out the cast.

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 realisation that there’s no turning back. CRIME 101 is written and directed by Bart Layton (American Animals, The Imposter).

CRIME 101 will be released in Aussie cinemas February 12!

Parasite was released in 2019 and since then he has been busy with the excellent television series Snowpiercer but now he returns to the big screen with Mickey 17 and what a return it is! Set in a dystopian future with so many elements that mirror our present-day race into the abyss, the film vividly illustrates that his imagination and craft are as fertile as ever as is his socially biting commentary.

Robert Pattinson as the title character expands his craft and delivers a manic and unforgettable performance. He is matched Crazy for Crazy by fellow cast members Mark Ruffalo and Toni Collette. The story dips into relevant topics like blindly following an ego-driven narcissist leader and embracing dangerous technology with little to no applied morality. Amidst all this is also a love story from the ages.

If you need a simple description to create interest, Mickey 17 could loosely be called science fiction but that is only on the surface and the depth of the message rivals all of Bong Joon Ho’s other works. This is a man who cares deeply about the human condition and is unafraid to tear the scab off to see what caused the initial injury. That he can create social commentary this biting that is never less than entertaining is the mark of a true original.
