'Den of Thieves' – Review

Studios routinely use January-February as a dumping ground for their un-loved films; genre movies with B-list actors that earn neither critical nor commercial success. Den of Thieves may appear to meet the criteria, but don’t let that deceive you. It’s a gritty character-driven thriller that doesn’t play to the stereotypical, and works hard in its 140-minute runtime to shake the ‘dump’ month stigma.

Will it be as ridiculous as Bright? Or good, like, um… I’m sure there was a good Netflix original film we all liked, right?
