Review of Den of Thieves (2018) by Eludiumq36 — 18 Apr 2018
The overall premise is cool, I like ambition in my bank robbers. However, when King Leonidas, er Lt Flanagan, catches whiff that's when plausibility goes out the window. Things get stupid then, and the director - Christian Gudegast, "London Has Fallen", another tepid Gerard Butler vehicle - tries to cover that up with a shootout that's the very definition of ridiculous.
Seriously, how do you have a high-impact rifle shootout involving the public in LA and there aren't 200 police responding in minutes?! So Hollywood stupid. And the little twist thing they do at the end is so anti-climatic, it just adds to the disappointment of what this could've and should've been in more capable hands.
