Dennis Harvey Film Critic The biggest robbery in Danish history gets the big-screen treatment in “The Quiet Ones,” a somber piece whose chronicle from a heist’s inception to its disastrous (for the perps) aftermath has stirred comparisons to Michael Mann’s “Heat” 30 years ago. This well-cast and -crafted thriller does echo that film in some respects, albeit without the arresting style and more vivid characters that lent it near-mythic resonance.

In Den Of Thieves 2: Pantera, Gerard Butler, O’Shea Jackson and company head to Europe for another brazen robbery, this time at the top-security World Diamond Center in Nice, where the cop and the crook join forces to penetrate a thief-proof vault full of valuable deposit boxes with millions of dollars of jewels including an uber-desirable pink diamond stolen from the Mafia who wants it back.
