Big Nick is BACK! And so is Donnie the Driver....as played by Gerard Butler and O'Shea Jackson Jr. respectively, they are the only significant hold-overs from the first first Den of Thieves which came out five years. That original LA-based crime thriller directed by Christian Gudegast (who also returns to direct this sequel) ended up being a bit of a sleeper hit and has garnered a significant following since then via streaming and/or cable. So how do they continue the story this time around? By bringing the overall action to both France and Belgium where Donnie (O'Shea Jackson Jr.) is now deeply involved in an ambitious heist to steal gems from the World Diamond District. And guess who suddenly travels to Nice to find him AND potentially join him? Why it's Nick (Gerard Butler) who is a now a disgraced former LAPD cop as a result of the events of the previous film.....and now he wants IN? :o
In other words.....The Cop Goes Gangster and The Heist Goes Global. Also included among the international cast are Evin Ahmad, Salvatore Esposito, Orli Shuka.....
