Crime 101 - MOVIE REVIEW

Crime 101 - based on a novella by Don Winslow - lands in cinemas this weekend. It's a crime saga but a surprisingly focused chaaracter drama, with interconeecting threads that lead to quite the convergence in the third act of this movie. This film is being adapted by Bart Layton, who made the critically acclaimed American Animals which I was also a big fan of. Unlike that though, he's now been given a big Hollywood production with big name movie stars and a much, much bigger budget. Does Crime 101 live up to his previously acclaimed work?
