What a nice movie to start the Sunday with. It was really worth spending my time watching this movie. Initially when I was about to watch this movie, I saw the movie time and it’s a 2 hrs movie. One thing about watching a very interesting movie is that you don’t know when the time has passed till you are done.
Alright let me go into full details talking about the movie
From the image you might find a face that looks familiar. Well if you have watched the ”Army Of Dead” movie then that’s where the familiar face is from. Army of Dead was about a group of people trying to crack a safe to collect a lot of money from the safe. The safe Cracker was Ludwig Dieter (Played by Matthias Schweighöfer). In the Army Of Dead we were shown how he was so passionate about safe cracking and how good he was. But little did we know that there was a story behind his love and passion for safe cracking.
I never found safe to be this intriguing not until I watched the ”Army Of Thieves”. There was a group of thieves who wanted to steal from a list of most un crack able safes in the world. The point of stealing from the safe is not really all about the money. It was the thrill of cracking and pulling a heist that seems impossible. In a way let’s call it a dangerous heist adventure. This is because, the money in these safes are too much for them to steal. So they crack each legendary safe and take as much money as they can take as souvenir or trophy for cracking the safe.
This was just the summary, but you know when it comes to Hollywood and blockbuster movies there must always be added theatrics, storyline and actions to glue you to your screen. This particular movie actually had those in it. I was more focused on the main character Ludwig Dieter (Played by Matthias Schweighöfer), who I found extremely funny. His character is an adorable character that you can’t help but smile. He is the safe cracker who was a banker but lived a boring life. Seeking for adventure he decided to join the Heist, and the safes were the most historical safe in the world and he is a safe nerd.

I would’t blame him, who wouldn’t.
She worked with three other people before meeting the safe cracker. She worked with a computer hacker named Korina (played by Ruby O. Fee), The muscle of the group Brad Cage (played by Stuart Martin) and the fast gate away driver called Rolph ( Played by Guz Khan).
I will rate the Movie a 7.5/10 because the plot and settings were really nice. The movie had lots of relatable humor scene that reminds you of the reality of performing a heist.
After watching the movie I had to go back to the ”Army Of Dead” movie to get my story straight. So the ”Army Of Dead” is after the ”Army Of Theives” in terms of the movie time and the events. In ”Army Of Dead” the safe cracker is already dead, but in the ”Army Of Thieves” , we were showed how he got to America. After a successful heist in ”Army Of Thieves”, Nathalie Emmanuel’s character sacrificed herself so he can be free. She already made a fake American Passport and a ticket to America. But she couldn’t make it, so he had to go alone.
He was supposed to wait for her in America before taking on the mission on ”Army Of Dead” . Now this is where the movie gets sad for me. Knowing fully well that they loved each other and were waiting to see each other again, made me sad about his death. I wish he didn’t take that mission and waited for her to come see him.
Well that’s it for the ”Army Of Thieves”, I hope I didn’t spoil it too much for you.
