Critics Consensus

Army of Thieves doesn't reinvent the heist thriller, but director-star Matthias Schweighöfer proves an appealing presence on both sides of the camera.

Audience Consensus

There are snappier heist movies, but for viewers in search of a capering good time, Army of Thieves is a fairly safe bet.

Fun and exciting. A bit too sappy at times, but overall an exciting adventure with one of the most enticing characters from the Army of the Dead.

Army of Thieves does the usual quick paced, multi character kind of thing. It's a decent watch - and the spinning locks are kinda satisfying.

Empire Magazine

A prequel that benefits from being only loosely connected to anything we've already seen, this is a fun, light romp that leans on likeable characters rather than CG spectacle.

Rated: 3/5

It moves very quickly and it's sharp.

Schweighöfer's prequel loses the winning combination this charming character possessed in Snyder's flick, in lieu of a yawn-inducing vault toward nothingness.

A fun delightful heist movie that adds more to the world of the Army of the Dead & one of its characters. Was the film needed? No but was it delightful? Yes

Army of Thieves is an enjoyable diversion with a winning performance from Matthias Schweighöfer and a stunning lack of purpose.
