Crime 101 Interview with Director Bart Layton
from The Movie Podcast · host The Movie Podcast
On this episode of The Movie Podcast, Daniel and Shahbaz sit-down in Toronto with CRIME 101 Writer and Director Bart Layton to discuss his new crime thriller. Set against the sun-bleached grit of Los Angeles, the film weaves the tale of an elusive jewel thief (Chris Hemsworth) whose string of heists along the 101 freeway have mystified police. When he eyes the score of a lifetime, his path crosses that of a disillusioned insurance broker (Halle Berry) who is facing her own crossroads. Convinced he has found a pattern, a relentless detective (Mark Ruffalo) is closing in, raising the stakes even higher. As the heist approaches, the line between hunter and hunted begins to blur, and all three are faced with life-defining choices–and the realisation that there can be no turning back.
