I’m a little pissed off at myself for sleeping on Den of Thieves for so long. This 2018 crime thriller about a morally ambiguous cop trying to prevent a close-knit group of bank robbers from pulling off the heist of the century was something I admittedly put off for way too long,

Gerard Butler didn't have the best time filming Den of Thieves 2: Pantera as he shot the movie "with a freshly torn ACL."

Now, Butler and Jackson are back in “ Den of Thieves 2: Pantera ,” and Petzold and other fans of the original will be happy to hear that the sequel is even better than the original: faster, funnier, and jammed with spectacular action set pieces that Gudegast shot on a swift schedule.
