Crime 101 trailer

Based on Don Winslow's novella of the same name, Crime 101 follows the story of Hemsworth, a notorious thief who joins hands with an insurance broker (Halle Berry) for his biggest, and final heist. Mark Ruffalo, who plays Detective Lou Lubesnick is pursuing them, and he has to stop the heist at any cost.

The trailer builds both intrigue and tension. Layton, who is known for his thrillers having both psychological depth and realism, promises to present yet another adrenaline-charged, gritty thriller with Crime 101.

The 3-minute trailer starts with Davis and Sharon introducing each other and she says she wants to be in his “line of work,” and then it cuts to the former driving in a car wearing a face mask and carrying a gun.

Later, they are seen in a restaurant, where Sharon tells Davis he looks like “a person who has secrets.” She adds, “You got the car, the clothes. But you can’t seem to look me in the eye.”

On the other hand, Lou gives an update about his investigation into the heists with his team of detectives. He says, "We’re looking at robberies of jewels, money or high-value items in the last four years."

"Now, remove every robbery where there was DNA left at the scene. I think all of these are the same guy and he hits every time along the 101 freeway," he adds.

In another clip, Davis is seen convincing Sharon to participate in a heist together in the company where she is employed as a vice president. She agrees if she get $3 million of the $11 million he steals.

The trailer ends with Sharon saying that Davis was breaking "every rule you’ve ever lived by" with their heist and when she asks what makes this job “different," he replies, "There comes a moment when you realize you don’t have as much time as you thought you had."
