In the age of streaming, nostalgia, and constant scroll fatigue, it feels like every other week an “old” favorite suddenly finds new life, or a brand-new release takes over the charts overnight. Usually there’s some buildup or hype cycle, but Prime Video’s current #1 movie, Crime 101, seems to have skipped all of that and gone straight to “everyone’s watching it” status.
I was just browsing Prime Video for something to put on for movie night when I spotted Crime 101 sitting comfortably at the top of the list. First reaction: yes, action thriller with a stacked cast, I’m in. Second reaction: how is this the first I’m hearing about it? Especially when we’re talking about Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Barry Keoghan, and Halle Berry all in one film. That’s not exactly a quiet lineup.
