NEW YORK (WABC) — Los Angeles, the 101 Freeway. It’s where, in the new film “Crime 101,” fortunes are made and stolen. This oldschool heist thriller isn’t just about the crime; it’s about the characters whose lives crash into each other.
Chris Hemsworth plays a jewel thief with a personal code. Halle Berry’s character is breaking her own, and Mark Ruffalo’s just trying to enforce his.
Three lives. One collision course.
Joelle Garguilo: “We’ll start with a little rapid fire. Of this cast, who is most likely to be able to read a person like a book?”
Chris Hemsworth: “We were just on a radio station the other day in the U.K., in London, and I think the man felt like he was being undressed. And I was like, ‘Please not me next. Please not me next. Oh my God. I don’t know my secrets.'”
Joelle Garguilo: “Most likely to be the mastermind of the operation?”
Chris: “There she is again.”
Halle Berry: “What? No.”
Joelle Garguilo: “Who would make the best getaway driver – and the worst?”
Mark Ruffalo: “I’d be the worst.”
Halle Berry: “Are you a grandpa driver?”
Mark Ruffalo: “Not your grandpa, but…”
Joelle Garguilo: “I also appreciate that. I do.”
But this isn’t just a heist movie. It has heart.
And Berry gets a moment that reaches far deeper.
Joelle Garguilo: “Halle, you have a line that has become one of my favorites, the years you’re not giving back. For you personally, what did you love about getting to say that line?”
Halle Berry: “Oh, because it reflects exactly where I am in life and where I know so many women are. We’re in this fight together. We’ve felt marginalized and overlooked, and we’re clawing our way back into our rightful place in society. We get better as we get older, but we’ve felt devalued. So that was a great line, I got to say it for all women.”
Mark Ruffalo: “There was a cheer, an audible cheer.”
Joelle Garguilo: “That was me yesterday. For all of you – was there a movie or show you saw when you were younger that made you think, ‘I want to do that’?”
Chris Hemsworth: “‘The Princess Bride’ and ‘The NeverEnding Story’ – films that transported me to another universe. There was mystery and fantasy. I wanted to be there. I wanted to live there.”
Halle Berry: “When I was a kid, seeing ‘Carmen Jones’ with Dorothy Dandridge – seeing a woman like me reflected on television. There wasn’t a lot of that. Seeing a Black woman depicted in a positive, powerful way was impactful. That’s when the dream was born. I wanted to impact people the way she impacted me.”
Mark Ruffalo: “My grandmother used to let me stay up late to watch movies with her. One night she said, ‘There’s this movie you have to watch.’ It was ‘A Streetcar Named Desire.’ I saw Marlon Brando for the first time and thought, ‘Who is that?’ And I said, ‘I want to do that.'”
