I watched Chris Hemsworth's new movie Crime 101 — and the heist thriller commits too many offences to be the Marvel megastar's best non-MCU film
Light spoilers follow for Crime 101 . Chris Hemsworth can't seem to catch a break away from the MCU . Best known for playing Thor in Marvel 's cinematic juggernaut, his CV largely reads like a list of critical darlings that underperformed at the box office ( Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga , Rush ) and critically-panned flops ( Spiderhead , Men In Black: International, and 2017's Ghostbusters ). Sure, there have been successes, such as Netflix 's Extraction franchise, but even those are considered to be unoriginal overachievers by plenty of people. Not exactly the consistent hitmaker some might have expected him to have become, then. And so comes the turn of Crime 101 , an action-heist thriller fronted by Hemsworth. At first glance, it looks like the kind of gritty and pulsating film that'll go down well with fans and critics alike, and be the big, non-superhero box office success that the Aussie actor needs. Enjoyable for what it is, though, Crime 101 commits too...
