She later transitioned into more conventional blockbusters,making her debut as Storm inX-Menin 2000and the titular superheroine inCatwoman.

What This Means For Crime 101
February Is An Inconsistent Release Month
On the surface, this is a surprisingly early release date forCrime 101. With such a big-name cast,a thriller like this would often vie for a release closer to the summer, when the blockbuster season is ripe. To its credit, however,Crime 101will come out at a time when there is less competition. February tends to be a rocky time for new releases, but this could also signal an opportunity for the star-studded action film.
