In Den of Thieves 2: Pantera, Gerald Butler’s Big Nick is scouring Europe in search of O’Shea Jackson’s Donnie. His mission will pit Nick against the Panther mafia and their plot to rob a diamond exchange.
No one knows how Den of Thieves landed a sequel. The first film made $80 million worldwide on a $30 million budget, which is not enough to justify a second installment.
So far, critics have assigned it a Rotten Tomatoes score of 67 percent. Some reviewers think the second film improves upon the weaknesses of its predecessor but the results are still disappointing.
Others think the first film was a pleasant surprise but the sequel drops the ball. You also have those who loved the character arcs and the intricacies of the heist. Den of Thieves 2: Pantera is out in cinemas today.
