I saw a new release on Prime which I really enjoyed yesterday called "Crime 101", starring Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, and Halle Berry with Jennifer Jason Leigh and Nick Nolte in small supporting roles. It's a heist movie about a clever jewel thief played by Hemsworth who is being tracked down by an LA police detective played by Ruffalo. Sort of a throwback kind of film. Worth watching I give it a B+

I'm really struggling to see why people like this movie so much. I liked both Chris Hemsworth's and Halle Berry's performances and thought they did really well projecting their character personalities but I thought the writing was a bloody mess. There were so many unresolved issues at the end that it actually bothered me (especially the one with Nolte, which seemed like it should have been a central plot issue) and the logical inconsistencies bugged me too, where some things applied in one case but not the other, without giving spoilers away. It's not that I didn't enjoy the movie, it was an ok watch, but I expected more and was positively shocked to see the love for the move, although a lot of people complained about the unresolved stuff. It was a C- watch once and forget type of movie for me. Maybe it was just me on that particular day but I didn't see much to get excited about.

I recently watched Narc, a gritty cop drama from 2003, directed by Joe Carnahan.

Highly recommended if you like gritty brutal cop dramas. It's a film about Detroit cops investigating the death of an undercover cop who turned junkie and the suspicious circumstances around his death.


Brutal film and a film with powerhouse performances from Ray Liotta & Jason Patric.

A Bronx Tale. Forgot how good old movies can be. Great story telling, limited blood and guts that is so excessive these days for no reason.
