I’ll never forget experiencing the big shootout scene from Michael Mann’s “Heat” for the first time. It’s tuned to perfection in both execution and intensity, creating an action sequence that anyone can watch without any knowledge of the film's prior events. The film itself is a prime example of how to handle a cops and robbers story. With that being said though, I wasn’t expecting that from “Den of Thieves” when walking into the theater. For one, those are way too high of expectations. Despite liking the cast and what I saw from the trailer, I’d be naive not to admit that the January release date had me worried. After seeing the film, I’ll admit that it wasn’t a bad movie. However, it’s not that good either.
