Un famoso ladrón en su juventud, Brian Reader (Michael Caine), es ahora un viudo de 77 años que lidera un atraco sin precedentes en la conocida compañía de depósitos londinense Hatton Garden Safe Deposit. Para ello reúne a una banda de delincuentes inadaptados, todos entre los 60 y 70 años excepto uno, que usarán sus habilidades de ladrones de la vieja escuela para planificar el atraco durante las vacaciones de Semana Santa. Haciéndose pasar por operarios de mantenimiento, entran en el depósito, neutralizan las alarmas y proceden a perforar un agujero en la pared de la cámara acorazada. Dos días después, logran escapar con un supuesto botín valorado en 14 millones de libras en joyas y dinero. Tras el robo, los miembros de la banda empiezan a pelearse por el reparto del botín, desconfiando cada vez más unos de otros. Mientras tanto, el atraco llega a conocimiento de la opinión pública y se desencadena una fiebre de especulaciones. Los datos del robo van saliendo a la luz y fascinan cada vez más tanto al público como a los medios. (Wanda Visión)

An average heist movie that fails to balance humor with suspense and occasionally forces the legendary cast to do things on the verge of awkwardness. As a heist movie, King of Thieves isn't very imaginative or suspenseful, and as a comedy, not very funny. Aside from a few directorial ideas and the natural charisma of the acting legends, it's hard to find anything that would elevate the film above average.

Michael Caine is stealing again. The problem this time, though, is that although both he and his character have the right to be tired, the film didn't have to be so tired. I liked the acting line-up, a few scenes were really good, but the recent Going in Style was much better - it's not that it was comedy, it's that it had zest.

King of Thieves is, to be honest, a pretty pointless and forgettable film. It feels like the Brits saw the Americans making a quirky gangster movie and decided they needed one too, but the result falls flat. The only somewhat redeeming moments are with Michael Caine, but beyond that, the film doesn't have much to offer.
