Halle Berry has disclosed the release date of her upcoming crime thriller ‘Crime 101’, which will be in cinemas on February 13.

The Oscar-winning actress shared a stylish promotional picture of the film with a very short yet evocative caption: ‘one heist connects them all.’ The whole thing was actually an open invitation to the answers and really did mark February 13 as the day they had to clear their calendars. The timing right before Valentine’s Day suggests that the movie is trying to position itself as an alternative to a traditional love story—a rough, star-studded heist.

The reactions to the news were quick and mostly positive. Many people were simply glad that Berry would be seen in a major theatrical role again. ‘I can’t miss it if you’re in it!’ was the comment of one fan who was expressing the same feeling that most people were sharing. Another person was more concentrated on the positive aspects of the cast and said, ‘The cast goes hard af I can’t wait!!’

Nevertheless, the focus of most comments was not so much on the anticipation as it was on the fun identification of the cast’s superhero teams. The movie has Berry (Storm from X-Men films) opposite Chris Hemsworth (Thor) and Mark Ruffalo (The Hulk)—and people sure noticed this. As a result, there were many jokes that were both hilarious and creative.

‘Thor and Hulk figuring out crimes instead of destroying cities. Character development,’ was among the funny comments. Someone else was even more straightforward, saying: ‘Thor, hulk, Catwoman, and a regular guy trying to solve a case.’ Another one used the opportunity to proclaim it a crossover event: ‘So Storm, Thor, The Hulk, and Druig all in one movie. LOL! #MarvelSuperheroes’. The idea of ‘Two Avengers and an X-Man’ coming together on this film was probably the main draw for many.

In the midst of the superhero talk, some viewers sought movies to draw comparisons with. An optimistic viewer made these comments, ‘I hope it’s half as good as Heat or The Town. If it is, it’s gonna be a banger,’ and thus he set a very high bar to be crossed with reference to classic heist films. Others just expressed their usual interest in the genre, with one saying that he is ‘always in for a good crime thriller.’

However, not all comments were happy ones. A few of the users expressed their doubts or different opinions. One of them pointed out, ‘I’ve watched the trailer and didn’t like it too much, but being a fan of Chris Hemsworth I have to see it,’ thus giving a clear example of how the star power can turn around the first negative impression. Another was stricter and said, ‘Sorry but I’ll never see anything featuring Mark Ruffalo,’ but still, this was among the very few negative comments in the sea of positive ones.

The audience’s personal connection with Berry was clearly shown as well. ‘You have my heart already Halle. That was the heist,’ was one of the romantic comments that went on to illustrate the movie’s theme and at the same time give a compliment to the lucky star. Another person couldn’t help her/his surprise when talking about the continuing existence of the actress’s beauty and thus asked, ‘Halle, how come you are still as stunning as you always have been?’

With a release date in mid-February that couldn’t have been better planned and a cast that looks like an all-star Hollywood team, ‘Crime 101′ is no doubt going to be one that brings in lots of viewers. All the online buzz surrounding it—made up of the excited anticipation, witty comments on the actors’ famous roles, and the sincerity of the affection for the leading lady—indicates that the marketing campaign has tapped into the right frequency. The issue of whether the movie will be able to match up with the giants of the genre still remains, but there is no doubt that the hype is present. The heist is on February 13th. This project follows a stunning poster reveal. Halle Berry’s ventures extend beyond acting, as seen with her playful promotion of her own intimacy gel and her commitment to health through a revolutionary fitness partnership for menopause health.
