Den of Thieves - Cliché Cops 'n' Robbers -*RUBBISH*
Action heist film, the baddies are planning to steal many millions from the impenetrable Los Angeles Federal Reserve, this is in the manner of 'Oceans 13'. The cops and robbers appear to be equal adversaries, this is in the manner of 'Heat'. We slowly realise that the cops are really bad as well
The 'good' vegan FBI chief has predictable friction with Gerard Butler's 'bad' L.A. County Sheriff's Office team. We've seen this in tons of other films, this one is totally unconvincing..
The intense finale gun battle would have put dozens of civilians at risk - why would that happen! There's a twist at the end, obviously leading to a sequel. 140 minutes is way over long, might have been better if the story was told over 90 minutes.
Save yourself some cash and download the immensely superior 'Heat' instead.
4/10
