Den Of Thieves (Review)

[WillBrink]

This movie is basically an homage to Heat, right down to the running gun fight in traffic, vs just being a remake per se. Tough cop and tough bank robber with a tough crew go head to head. They attempt to give us some reason to care about characters with the usual fare (tough cop getting divorced and misses his kids, drinks too much, yada, yada) and is generally well done with a solid cast, with a few eye rolling moments that knock down what could have been a really good movie. I expected 50 cent to be terrible, but he actually does a decent job of it. Dialogue is ok, some scenes are tense and taught, and it's an overall fun action movie, but Heat or Sicario it aint... But it's not a bad action flick, just not one you'll be talking about the next day or thinking about past seeing it. B-

I thought this was another political thread, until I saw Review...

I enjoyed it. Had some good action scenes.

I gave it a 3 (liked it) out of 5 stars.

I thought it was good. 50 Cent has been in the TV show Power so he's had some practice. I'd give it a 3.5 out of 5.

I enjoyed it. I really liked the ending of the film and will throw it in rotation of my zone popcorn action films.

Solid B. The family and I were entertained.

I thought it was ok. I didn't care for most of the characters. Much prefer Heat.

There's no better in the genre than Heat, so that goes without saying, though I said in it the OP.

B-. Yet another Heat ripoff but less offensive in doing it than “the town” somehow
