What critics are saying about Army of Thieves

Most of the characters are, admittedly, not especially well developed, apart from Gwendoline and Sebastian, but they are colorfully distinctive and help keep the tone light and lively.Rather, those elements are woven into Sebastian’s emotional development over the course of the film, as he gains a deeper understanding of why Hans Wagner created these magnificent safes out of his grief in the first place and named them after the Ring cycle. (WARNING: A major spoiler for Army of the Dead is below, with direct bearing on Army of Thieves.)

Review: Army of Thieves is a smart, witty, and ultimately ...

Snyder will likely direct “Planet of the Dead” and the animated series “Army of the Dead: Lost Vegas” premieres next year. Until then, fans can check out the prequel, “Army of Thieves,” dropping on Netflix today with its flurry of kinetic editing that’s designed to hide some serious pacing problems and bland characters. It’s a heist-action movie that takes forever to get going and its admittedly fun second half can’t make up for the dull set-up. Snyder stays on as a producer but hands directorial duties off to Matthias Schweighöfer, who played safecracker Dieter Ludwig in the zombie film.
