‘Army of Thieves’ review: An ‘Army of The Dead’ prequel doesn’t steal much more than your time

The principle holdover from the primary movie is German actor/director Matthias Schweighöfer, who performed the safecracker Dieter, and never solely stars within the movie however directs it.

Dieter is clearly over his head in Gwendoline’s eccentric band — and amusingly susceptible to letting out piercing screams throughout moments of hazard — however he does have a knack for safecracking, an artwork illustrated by taking the viewer into the mechanism as solely particular results can. That will get outdated fairly quick, which leaves behind the detailed mechanics of the plot, the questions on who will be trusted and Sebastian’s lovestruck stares at Gwendoline, the girl of his desires.

Aside from imprecise information accounts about one thing bizarre taking place in Vegas (the situation of the sooner film), the connections to the sooner movie show restricted. “Thieves” thus features primarily as a fairly low-octane comedy thriller, with a throwback really feel that is as breezy as it’s disposable.
