King of Thieves unites an incredible cast for a heist movie brimming with potential -- most of which, sadly, evaporates long before the end credits have started to roll.

It's kind of a mishmash of tones... [But] these guys could just sit around and have tea and talk and it would be enormously watchable. Sep 16, 2019 | Full Review…

It's a marvel to watch Caine, Courtenay, Broadbent and Gambon go at each other with an aplomb that dazzles. Jan 28, 2019 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

The script (by Joe Penhall, based on a magazine article by Mark Seal) runs in fits and starts, but the camerawork from Danny Cohen keeps the mood lively during any lulls. Jan 25, 2019 | Full Review…

King of Thieves is a disappointing mess that lacks both suspense and a clear identity. Not even the occasional joy of seeing these fine actors riff with one another can save it. Jan 25, 2019 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

With a cast this rich in experience and history and a fact-based heist of such enormous scale, King of Thieves sounds like a shake-and-bake classic in the making, which makes its pedestrian execution all the more puzzling to behold. Jan 24, 2019 | Full Review…

Caine's legacy as the go-to Cockney criminal in the best thrillers of the 1960s and 1970s deserves better than this uneven blend of feel-good comedy, caper movie and Caine tribute show. May 8, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

There's laughs to be had watching these quasi-incompetent characters but they can't do enough to elevate the material into something more memorable. Apr 9, 2019 | Rating: C+ | Full Review…

Directed with a love for criminal procedural detail by James Marsh, the film has its humourous moments, but this...is essentially a hard drama about hard men who remain hard no matter how old they are. Mar 15, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…
