Den of Thieves is a frustrating movie. At its best, it tangles with the genre's big boys for a seat at the supremacy table. When it's on, it's glue-to-the-screen intense. When it's off, it's sluggish, not unbearable, but spending valuable resources for minimal gain. Nick's family problems are the biggest offender. The cast is uniformly good and Christian Gudegast shows growth and potential, just needing to better understand pacing to compliment the many high points and moments in the film. Universal's Blu-ray is solid. Video and audio are terrific and a few extras round out a nice package. This seems like a candidate for another Universal UHD re-release a few months down the line, but it's impossible to say. Recommended.
