Den of Thieves is a 90-minute thriller stretched out over a punishing two hours and twenty minutes. Despite some cool action, it's too stuffed and jumbled for its own good.

Who doesn't love a good heist? Movies centering on crews of criminals (and the cops who chase said criminals) have wowed audiences for decades, and the responsibility now falls upon newer films of the breed to break new ground, to try new things. That's not exactly the case with Christian Gudegast's Den of Thieves. While the down-and-dirty Los Angeles-based thriller delivers surface-level excitement, it's ultimately far too bloated and incoherent to make a lasting impression -- or even make sense, for that matter.
