Army of Thieves (2021)

Enjoyable heist movie but with some scenes that could have been better.

[6/10 · 22 January 2022]

Let it be clear, Army Of Thieves is entertaining, there's no doubt about that, but some scenes are just too over the top that it brings the quality of the movie down. I'm thinking like scenes where robbers take their time when commiting a heist, telling a little story, listening to music, and that all while they should be highly stressed and in a hurry. You almost want to commit a bank robbery yourself, when you see how easy it is. I thought those scenes could have been much better. There is enough action though, so boring it is not, and the acting isn't bad. I enjoyed Matthias Schweighöfer the most in this heist movie, but the rest wasn't bad either. The best thing about Army Of Thieves is the quality of the shots and images, the cinematography was top. Too bad for those handful scenes that made it look unreal.
