Leave your thoughts about King of Thieves.
| The Film StageJared MobarakWith the sheer joy of seeing these actors comment on their careers through these characters, a good time should be had. |
| NPRScott TobiasWith a cast this rich in experience and history and a fact-based heist of such enormous scale, King of Thieves sounds like a shake-and-bake classic in the making, which makes its pedestrian execution all the more puzzling to behold. |
| ObserverRex ReedIt's a marvel to watch Caine, Courtenay, Broadbent and Gambon go at each other with an aplomb that dazzles. |
| Times (UK)Ed PottonThis is a risky device, but it works, the postmodern playfulness sending an implicit message: it's OK to like Caine and company, but be repelled by the men they're playing. |
| Daily Telegraph (UK)Tim RobeyThere's more than enough acrid chatter among the thieves to keep us entertained. |
| Film InquiryNathan OsborneWearing its influences on its sleeve, The King of Thieves decides to cash in on the genre's previous glories while forgetting to bring any sense of style or grit to proceedings itself, leading to a disappointingly rote and conventional crime-caper. |
| VarietyGuy LodgeTorn between jaunty genre hijinks and a bleaker streak of realism, it's a strangely stiff, lethargic account of a cracking tale. |
| Sunday Independent (Ireland)Aine O'ConnorOverall, it is certainly watchable and entertaining at times, just a bit plodding. |
| Independent (UK)Geoffrey MacnabOne of the most refreshing aspects of the film is that they are all shown in their full greed and malevolence. |
| Kermode & Mayo's Film ReviewMark KermodeIt's not gritty enough... it's not taking any sort of huge risks. |
