The film delves deeper than typical films of this genre. Instead of having one-dimensional characters who are either career criminals or law enforcement officers seeking to be heroes, we find characters that are much more than their description. The criminals are cerebral and men of action. We see them as flawed beings who have families, friendships, and goals of eventually leaving crime.
For those on the side of the law, we witness how these heroes are only valiant on the outside. We see them as vulnerable, overzealous, and skirting the law as they view themselves as the embodiment of the law.
Den of Thieves demonstrates that crime action films can have well-developed storylines that don’t rely on the action to carry the film forward. The film will have audiences speculating about the next move and progression of the stories and crimes in a way that would make Ocean’s Eleven envious in its creativity. The characters have you confused and conflicted as who to pull for as they make the criminals relatable and sympathetic.
Den Of Thieves raises the bar for the genre of heist movies.

David McK (3752 KP) rated Star trek picard season 3 in TV
Apr 24, 2023
As in the last season of his last outing.
If it is, they saved the best for last.
Compared to season 1 and 2 of Start Trek: Picard, this is much more like it, eventually reuniting all the Next Generation crew (as they should have done from the start of Picard season 1) and laying the groundwork for a possible new Star Trek series.
To be clear: there is no current word of that, nor is any in production, but there is plenty heard that could be used as a starting point if one were to be commissioned
