Charming Old Fashioned Caper

No, there are no big car chases, or explosions. No fancy lasers, or big combat scenes. However, it is a fun story of aging burglars looking to score their final hurrah, portrayed by a slew of veteran actors who still have the skills to go from dottering elder to angry thug. Loved the use of the clips from their previous films as flashbacks. It was a refreshing change from CGI or Photoshop aging.

I liked it...

"King of Thieves" is a Biography - Crime movie in which we watch a heist in London's jewelry district that is based on the Hatton Garden diamond heist that occurred in April 2015.I enjoyed this movie because it is based on a true story, the plot was very interesting and there were some plot twists that made it even more interesting. The interpretations of Michael Caine who played as Brian Reader, Jim Broadbent who played as Terry Perkins, Charlie Cox who played as Basil, Ray Winstone who played as Danny Jones and Tom Courtenay who played as Kenny Collins were very good and their combination worked very well. The direction which was made by James Marsh was good and he presented the story in a very good way while he presented his main characters well enough to understand them and follow the story. In conclusion, I have to say that "King of Thieves" is an interesting movie and I highly recommend you to watch it.

What I expected

As we all knew how it ends, there were no surprises for me. Good acting but I agree with the comments about the lack of back story.
