Gerard Butler's return as 'Big Nick' in Den of Thieves 2: Pantera falls flat, unable to recapture the thrills of the original heist film.
beat sheet
Despite a fascinating premise of pairing the 'good guy' and 'bad guy' from the first film, the movie's sluggish pacing and underdeveloped characters leave little room for excitement or tension.
The heist sequence, the heart of any good heist film, lacks memorable moments and fails to raise the stakes, making the third act's car chase shootout feel more like an afterthought than a climactic showdown.
