Den of Thieves - 極盜戰
Den of Thieves (極盜戰) is an 2018 film. The movie stars Gerard Butler, Pablo Schreiber, and O'Shea Jackson Jr. The supporting cast include Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson, Max Holloway, and Michael Bisping.
Some bad guys try to rob a armor truck and things go a little south and one of their guys is shot. A "special forces" version of team from the LA Sherriff's arrives on scene and finds some leads. From there a cat and mouse chase of the robs going with the "keep you friends close and your enemies even closer" philosophy. The mouse keeps leaving clues and hints for the cat. When the big heist goes down, who will win?
This was a hard watch. Maybe because no one in the movie was very likable. They were either a criminal or they were a bad cop. No win choices there. However, by the end of the film, I was pulling for the bad guys to get away because the cops were so unlikable. There are lots of major plot twists through the movie and he better keep up. Luckily, I was able to rewind when needed.
I got this film via T-Mobile Tuesday Redbox promo.
