The intention of "Crime 101" is a 2020s form of a Los Angeles crime story but on a baseline level. With a great cast it follows a character based cross-section that we used to see a lot more but mostly has been relegated to TV and smaller actors simply because the medium has evolved. That said it is great seeing these bigger actors doing this kind of crime thriller set in Los Angeles like a modern film noir. One can tell Chris Hemsworth likes this style of movie but probably doesn't get as much of a chance as likely sometimes being Thor can limit the possibilities outside the core.

The intention of a film like "Mickey 17" is the context of an outsider finding meaning against the authority that oversees him. Mickey (Robert Pattinson) is having a time of it on Earth but he believes in the wrong people. What Director Bong Joon Ho ("Parasite") is more interested in is the perspective of someone from nothing rising up to change but sometimes through no great enlightenment of his own. It is just where his path leads.
