COLLISION COURSE

'This is a stylish, slow-burning throwback to crime capers of the past' - CRIME 101

- With DAMON SMITH

IN writer-director Bart Layton’s high-stakes thriller, a jewel thief’s inexperienced accomplice asks if $11million would be a sufficiently large haul to retire from a life of crime. “That's the thing about walk away money. You've got to be able to walk away with it,” cautions the career criminal.

Based on Don Winslow's novella, Crime 101 milks every sticky droplet of tension from the possibility that the film's socially awkward antihero could sacrifice careful planning at the altar of greed and pay a bigger price than his bank balance.
