This movie was fukken terrible. If you step back and look at all the racial propaganda in it you will be like :scust:

This is basically how white people write for characters of color. This one note nonsense.

The "scary" Mexican gangbangers with their tattoos and beheadings in the hood.:whatthefukk:

The "All-American" white guy who is a war veteran so him entering the hood is nothing to him.:comeon:

There was no fukken reason why Micheal Williams should have been in this movie. Wtf was he thinking?
Really breh? Was that tiny paycheck worth it?:martin:


Besides the movie had major plot holes.


:russ:

The movie is a fun romp but everything felt contrived, never boring tho.

Alright watched it from the beginning and thought it was entertaining kinda in the same way Training Day, Nightwatch, and Den of Thieves were. Honestly my only complaint was Michael K Williams playing a trans/cross dressing dude for like 17 seconds. This movie was made in 2016, there was no reason for him to take that type of role, as it had no barring on the plot in any way and if you cut that part out from the movie, it would not have mattered.

doesn't have the highs of the first Den of Thieves movie, they should have made Gal Gadot and Kate Winslet the same character.

There is a lot to really like about this movie....I liked it was set in Atlanta, a fascinating city, esp. in terms of crime, I liked it was interracial, and rarely mentioned, I liked the casting, I liked the characters, I liked the attention to detail, (even if some is VERY inaccurate) the grimy bits and pieces of the hood, and underworld, I have never sen Mackie better, Casey Affleck more self assured, Harrelson is coasting, but he works well enough......The score by Atticus Ross is fantastic, and belongs in a more full realized movie.....The writing is just a mess, the circumstances are often absurd, many scenes aren't needed, and many that were needed, don't exist. La Eme, or the Mexican Mafia operating in Atlanta as a street gang is a complete fabrication, as far as I know. Beheadings and all that is more of the same. Why do directors feel the need to throw that line? The Russian Mafia, in ATL, which is a real thing, as evidenced by the Eldorado Redd trial, is more then a bit over the top, more often then not, I thought Winslet did a decent job, with an overbearing script. The 'score' driving the movie is absurd and ludicrous, a heist at an HSI facility....total nonsense, but the movie sells it well. The bad guy is so telegraphed and slimy, you anticipate his every move. Often, it's script misuses it's characters in cliched writing, that let me down, more and more, in the movies conclusion. Excellent tension development is wasted, again and again, in contrivances and bad script choices. A trimmed down cast, with fully fleshed out characters, and a tighter story line would have been excellent. As it is, it a watchable, if strictly one time, thriller.
You got the first Den of Thieves movie which was filmed in Atlanta but made to look like LA so its all good
