Résumés(1)
Célèbre voleur dans sa jeunesse, Brian Reader, veuf âgé de 77 ans, réunit une bande de criminels marginaux sexagénaires pour fomenter un cambriolage sans précédent à la salle des coffres de la société Hatton Garden Safe Deposit (HGSD). Se faisant passer pour des réparateurs, ils pénètrent le dépôt, neutralisent les alarmes et se mettent à percer un trou dans le mur de la chambre forte. Deux jours plus tard, ils parviennent à s’échapper avec un butin évalué à plus de 200 millions de livres en bijoux et espèces. L’enquête démarre, et au fur et à mesure des révélations sur les détails du crime, public et médias britanniques sont captivés, et l’investigation est suivie avec fièvre dans le monde entier.

Michael Caine is stealing again. The problem this time, though, is that although both he and his character have the right to be tired, the film didn't have to be so tired. I liked the acting line-up, a few scenes were really good, but the recent Going in Style was much better - it's not that it was comedy, it's that it had zest.

King of Thieves is, to be honest, a pretty pointless and forgettable film. It feels like the Brits saw the Americans making a quirky gangster movie and decided they needed one too, but the result falls flat. The only somewhat redeeming moments are with Michael Caine, but beyond that, the film doesn't have much to offer.

An average heist movie that fails to balance humor with suspense and occasionally forces the legendary cast to do things on the verge of awkwardness. As a heist movie, King of Thieves isn't very imaginative or suspenseful, and as a comedy, not very funny. Aside from a few directorial ideas and the natural charisma of the acting legends, it's hard to find anything that would elevate the film above average.
