What to Know

Critics Consensus

Den of Thieves pays energetic homage to classic heist thrillers of the past; unfortunately, it never comes close to living up to its obvious inspirations.

Stephen Romei The Australian 02/14/2018
3.5/5
Butler and Schreiber deliver commanding performances. They are men who could explode at any moment, at work or at home. That nonstop ticking beneath their calm exteriors fills the film with a gripping tension. Go to Full Review Tara Brady Irish Times 02/05/2018
3/5
Den of Thieves desperately wants to be Heat or The Killer when it grows up. Instead it's a daft, distant, drunken cousin to those pictures, but if you studiously avoid thinking about it, you can at least enjoy its moronic antics. Go to Full Review Sandra Hall Sydney Morning Herald 02/02/2018
2/5
The film's sole virtue is its finale - a complicated plot twist that sparks a belated, and brief, surge of interest. Go to Full Review David Griffiths Subculture Entertainment Apr 19
3.5/5
A very well-written crime thriller that keeps the action to the fore but doesn't forget how important an intense a plot is as well. Butler is amazing in a role that he was born to play. Go to Full Review Richard Crouse Richard Crouse 02/28/2021
2/5
It's one thing for the bad guys to shoot one another, but when cops place dozens of innocent people in the middle of an automatic gun battle it feels gratuitous even for a movie like this. Go to Full Review Dan Buffa KSDK News (St. Louis) 11/10/2020
The lesson is simple, ladies and gents. Don't judge a book or movie by its cover. There could be a fun toy waiting in that gift you didn't care to unwrap. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

KimB Jan 10 I enjoyed this movie! Action was on point! See more S K Nov 19 Really good flick with really good performances by the 2 main antagonists. See more Ted B. @Movieaddicted Nov 7 3.5 stars; Lots of body bags, but overall, a pretty good heist action movie. I'm a Gerard Butler fan, so this gets 3 stars from the jump. This was a very raw role for Gerard, and he played it tough. What makes him a good actor is that every now and then in this role, he would let his soft side come out. Loved the twist ending. See more Diamond E Oct 12 Oh my golly Ray merrimen I so love your " I don't care charm." Everyone the movie is lit with 🔥 Action, emotion, comedy, I mean a gal couldn't ask for more! Every character and intricate detail is important and it makes you say woooooo literally. It's a must see. Spoiler den of thieves 2 is so bad I fell asleep in the movie theater save the money on that movie 🎥 See more Michael D Oct 9 The film features top-notch, superbly shot action and nails the pacing despite its length, consistently revealing just enough of the mystery. See more bob t Sep 27 This is not a full on action movie, it is a heist thriller with a shootout at the very beginning and at the end of the movie. The family subplot is also just unneeded. Gerard Butler is still awesome! See more Read all reviews
