The Heist
Den of Thieves- is a decent action heist thriller, its also very slow at many points throughout the movie, only when the action hits thats when the movie is good.

The Plot: Nick O'Brien is the hard-drinking leader of the Regulators, an elite unit of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. Ray Merrimen is the recently paroled leader of the Outlaws, a gang of ex-military men who use their expertise and tactical skills to evade the law. O'Brien, Merrimen and their crews soon find themselves on a direct collision course as the criminals hatch an elaborate plan for a seemingly impossible heist -- the city's Federal Reserve Bank.

Gerald Butler, Pablo Schrieber and O'Shea Jackson Jr. are all good in this film.

This is one of my favorites, except Butler's character really annoyed me.

"My son Ben went to Elliot School, which is quite famous for producing musicians. The first one that I knew was Kieran Hebden, who makes music as Four Tet. There was a culture at one point that was encouraging people. Ben was in the same class as the xx’s Romy [Madley-Croft] and he knew Jamie [Smith] quite well, and I knew his parents. We even went to their holiday house in Norfolk. The xx were the shy ones, they were like a little gang. Jamie was the most outgoing one, and he was pretty shy. I knew quite a lot about how that record happened, that they tried first with a producer and then did it in a house studio. We were living just down the road from where that was going on."

Third entry in Simon Haynes's Harriet Walsh Peace Force books, which sees Peace Force trainee Harriet and her 'sister' Alice off to the nearby city of Chirless, the planet Dismolle's second major city, and in which a major criminal gang has moved back into to offer 'protection'.

Devolving, essentially, into one long drawn out siege, this novel is what I would term a light read - it's perfectly competent (probably miles better than anything I could produce), moves along at a reasonable rate, throws one or two twists in but is also, ultimately, forgettable.

NB that's not to say that I didn't enjoy my time with it - I did - just that I'm not sure if it is a novel I would want to re-read at a later date.
