IGN

Like its predecessor, this prequel sports a flashy style and a glib sensibility, with muscular action sequences and cartoonish eruptions of violence.

The films length doesnt favour it either, with pacing issues in the second act.

As there is no answer that doesnt utterly undermine the entire premise of the picture, there you go.
Rogers Movie Nation
1.5
Schweighfer not only stars in, but directs the effort, creating a glossy, new school heist flick thats high on energy but low on sensible narrative.

Actually, theres little reason not to wonder if it started that way.

Performance Worth Watching: Schweighofers relative enthusiasm only goes so far when a screenplay isnt up to snuff.

Theres, uhh, no guards Again and again, Army of Thieves reminds viewers it isnt meant to be taken seriously, even as a heist movie.
Detroit News

A successful piece of entertainment that is worth checking out, but it may not appeal to everyone.
1.5
Thieves thus functions essentially as a rather low octane comedy thriller, with a throwback feel thats as breezy as it is disposable.

Still, this lightness is what keeps Army of Thieves fun enough that its adherence to formula doesnt matter at all.

Army of Thieves is a great addition to the franchise! Its very fun film that you can enjoy over a weekend

Interestingly, outside of three unbilled cameos, theres very little in Army of Thieves linking it to its franchise predecessor.

Though it gives a shout out to heist films like Point Break and Heat, this heist film isnt in their class.

Fee and Khan are solid as well, though the script doesnt give them nearly as much room to run.

This one has a lighter touch than Army of the Dead: theres some romance and no brain eating. It plays more like a riff on Oceans Eleven.

Apart from an extensive cascade of profanity, this film would be perfectly suitable for family viewing but I wouldnt recommend it.

The films biggest asset is Schweighfer playing the winningly goofy safecracker.

Luckily, Schweighfer elevates even the weaker moments and delivers a heist movie thats fun, exciting, and surprisingly sincere.

It doesnt help either when I find it annoying to see Sebastian loves to rant about the history of each three respective safes while cracking them.
Casey's Movie Mania
3.0
A perfectly adequate movie to waste a couple of hours. One easygoing, entertaining heist film that doesnt reinvent the wheel nor tries to.

Heist movies can be great, often thrilling, but Army of Thieves doesnt have any of that.

The screenplay from Shay Hatten doesnt seem aware that most of the emotional resonance is in Nathalie Emmanuels character, Gwendoline Starr.

Unlike most films of its kind, it doesnt boost off its charismatic macho man persona.
