Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

A Masterpiece!

A Disappointing Continuation

It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

Su visionado es una tortura. Larga. Absurda. INSOPORTABLE.

It came as no surprise to discover that this movie grossed more in its domestic takings than it did n its international takings . ..Europeans tend to seek a glimmer of intelligence in their cinematic entertainment // The movie starts with a bunch of people whom we do not know and with whom we have zero connection shooting at another bunch of people whom we do not know either . The screen is filled with an image of a stranger firing a gun with a never ending supply of bullets ... we cut to an image of another stranger falling over riddled in bullets .. we then cut to another stranger firing another "magic " gun .. .cut again to another stranger falling over ..yes .. riddled with bullets .. etc etc . and then on we go with lame pointless dialogue scene after scene ,,, the initial verbal confrontation with the vegan cop is a prime example of the primitive script .. just in case we get confused the writers have one character say to the other "i do not like you " ... did you get that .. these guys are not friends . this is very poor movie making

It's ok, although I wanted it to have a little more drama. It seemed fake, some scenes. Like they had no characters with charisma and action with dynamics. Overall, it was decent. Not too much laughter I got, but it was ok. So the rating it's a 7, but maybe just because Gerald Butler and 50 Cent kind of lifted it up.

So I saw this movie right after watching Heat for the first time few days ago.This movie blatantly tries to copy Heat. Like REALLY copy it. Scenes, moments, shootouts, the director barely tried to do anything different. And in what he DOES do different, the result is.. average.First things first. The acting is horrible. The only person trying to act is Butler, but that's to be expected. In Heat, you had two opposing factions, with actors like Pacino, Niro and Kilmer making you feel love/hate even for the criminals. Hell, eeven the families and love interests have a part to pay in Heat.In Den of Thieves? The only character you care a "bit" about is Butler's. But even then, his character is mostly awful so there isn't much to like, compared to Pacino's character who was shown to be a mere human, despite being a dedicated detective machine. Meanwhile in DoT, you have awful actors like 50 Cent who can't act their way out of a paper bag.Then the heist. It's alright. But relies way too much on luck and coincidences. You'd think that a movie 23 years after Heat, trying to copy it, would try to improve upon the formula. But they just settle for same and even less.I think the biggest problem I had was that these "marines" felt like a bunch of amateurs when handling weapons. Remember the ending gunfight in Heat and how professional the robbers looked when handling weapons. Val Kilmer especially looked smooth and their handling felt so natural. In DoT? They feel so amateur, especially the cops. The ending fun-fight was just them shooting a bunch of cars instead of a bunch of people (which is a miracle since cars were still full of people in most shots).Overall, I felt like the director could've gone beyond Heat and made it something more. Instead he just settled on copying Heat.. badly.Going to give it 5/10 since I think this is still a step up compared to most such movies and it wasn't THAT bad that I would give it less than a 5. It's a popcorn flick. Will not leave a lasting impact like Heat did.
