Butler is very entertaining. Solid thriller heist movie with oddball characters, action, cars and guns. Only film critics, otherwise known and folks who have never made a movie, could find lots of things to hate here. You on the other handButler is very entertaining.

8.4/10 While it is essentially a new generation revamping of Heat, it works extremely well in that regard with an outstanding last hour of pure high octane clever grittiness and action.

The first 90 min do move rather slow during the character buildup which is necessary, but as the story pieces together and the intensity hits, it becomes a great ride. The heist sequence was phenomenally executed with innovative genius and the suspenseful conclusion will be sure to surprise. Overall a very overlooked film.… Expand

Most reviews take issue with the notion that Den of Thieves is just a carbon copy of Michael Mann's masterpiece Heat. I've probably watched Heat more times than I care to mention and did see a lot of similarities but there were also quite few differences. The technology used by robbers in Thieves is noticeably different and the interactions between cops and robbers is noticeably different too. Cops are more corrupt and robbers don't get quite as much backstory as you'd like (despite the 2.5 hr run time). Acting is nowhere near the level it was at in Heat but is substituted by arguably some of the best gun battles I've ever seen (I'd say even better than Heat). The scenes at the gun range are entertaining and the final robbery and pursuit by the police is just pure awesomeness. If you're a big fan of Heat and like cops and robbers type movies - this movie will be pure delight. I give it a 8.5/10 - this is coming from a big HEAT movie fan.… Expand

The critics rated this hugely enjoyable LA-based crime drama way too low. A commanding performance from Gerard Butler and taut action sequences make this a cracker. Go see it.

Very good heist movie, Gerard Butler is the best that Ive seen him in a while. It's a slow burn film that eventually picks up and rebounds in the middle and last half of the movie.

Thoroughly entertaining action thriller which borrows heavily from Michael Mann's Heat but adds its own unique twist. Solid performances from all involved, especially enjoyed Gerard Butler as the protagonist

An easy story to follow until it surprises with a twist at the end. Action packed driving stunts & riveting shootouts. No Oscar winner but a fun shoot'em up film.

This is by no means a masterpiece. But its user score is so low and it has no reason to be. Den of Thieves is really great.

The movie was incredibly well directed with a great score. One of the only problems is the cinematography. Not because it is bad, its fine, but the color tone can be bland at times. Den of Thieves is a really great heist movie with really cool fight scenes that... I HAVE TO STRESS IS NOT CORNY. This is not a cheezy movie. This movie has a ok story but is excecuted so well that you don't remember all of its flaws. The movie reminded me of Sicario.… Expand

What on the surface might look like 'another Gerard Butler movie' is actually a very tense, atmospheric and well made crime movie that reminds me of Heat.

The Premise: A crew of former soldiers and some criminals perform high stakes heists in Los Angeles, taking increasingly higher risks to get rich and call it quits. The leader of the heist crew doesn't seem to recognize when to stop though, and after a messy job he gets spotted by Nick, a police officer with some rather unorthodoxe methods. Thus a tense rivalry starts as the crew prepares for a very audacious job.

Throughout the movie the tension is conveyed very well on the viewer as the heist leader and the officer become increasingly hostile towards each other. Action scenes are visceral, well filmed and get your blood pumping. Though there's not much of it, what's there is well done. I can recommend this movie, i give it an 8/10.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The film should get a straight 10/10 for drifting the Ford Mustang and not putting into a crowd, curb or wall. This is a great heist movie with some great scenes and good acting throughout, scenes are sometimes cinematic with great lighting and tones. I put this film up there alongside HEAT, The Town and Point Break etc etc. It is a film where I am looking forward to the sequel with great anticipation.… Expand
