Den Of Thieves (2018) REVIEW – This Movie Made Me Hate Men

Den Of Thieves (2018) REVIEW – This Movie Made Me Hate Men

By Andrea Thompson

I suppose Den of Thieves should be congratulated. No movie has ever inspired me to hate men, if only for a few hours, but by god, Den of Thieves did it. It is a kind of achievement.

This movie certainly needs all the points it can get. At an overstuffed 140 minutes, it far overstays its welcome, with a plot that insults the audience’s intelligence at every turn, and some of the most egregious examples of toxic masculinity I’ve ever seen in a modern movie.
