The wealth of acting talent and experience prompted me to want to see this, coupled with an interest in the real life story.
I'm stunned to read people find this slow, it's hardly designed as an action packed thriller. It's the telling of real life events. I thoroughly enjoyed it, the story is intriguing, the acting is first rate, plus it contains some very humorous moments.
It begins off in quite a light hearted way, it's jolly and funny, but oncr the deed is done, it takes on a more serious tone, the laughs are fewer, and the true greed of the characters comes out.
Excellent performances, Caine, Gambon, Courtenay and Winstone all excellent, but for me it was Jim Broadbent who stole the show, he was superb. Francesca Annis was lovely in it, though sadly not for very long.
It's not a classic, but well worth seeing for the wealth of acting talent. 8/10

The Reviews for King of Thieves (2018) 720p
There really is no honour amongst thieves.Reviewed bySleepin_DragonVote: 8/10
It's distracting entertainment, but it has a made-for-TV feel, which ITV might commission for a soggy bank holiday. Cinematically uninspiring. The script is pandering to a similar audience; I can imagine some giggling at the swearing, farting and buttocks.
Don't usually write these but have just watched this rubbish. Save your money unless you want to watch a film with the most swearing in the shortest space of time. It should win an award for that.
