Review Den of Thieves 2: Pantera (2025): Not as good as the original but Butler will make it worth it!

genre: action, crime, heist, thriller






Den of Thieves 2: Pantera, is the sequel nobody asked for but got anyway. And the sole reason for me to watch this is, Gerard Butler. If he is in it, I will watch it. Has he ever let me down? I don't think so.

Apparently, they were very aware of this fact, since he is the one who steals every scene he is in. The crime / heist plot is predictable as hell. But even then there were some compelling scenes that very briefly would make you doubt a little. The one main issue I had was the fact that Donnie Wilson, played by O'Shea Jackson Jr. wasn't on Big Nick. He is supposed to be this mastermind, but here he is shown that apparently he always has been very lucky. If you think about it, this undermines the twist of the original. And yes, this sequel commits the carnal sin of revealing the twist in the original.

Maybe one can argue, that they wanted to make you think that there would be more twists. And yes, there are, but not surprising ones. The original film wasn't a masterpiece by a long shot, but at least it had tension and good action. This sequel is quite slow burning and only in the heist scene do you get some of the tension, most fans are craving. The action is there, but not as plentiful as I would like.  Somehow, I had the feeling that this would be this case. Hence, I was waiting for a rollercoaster ride full of twist and turns. It would have made the viewing experience, so much more fun.

Then again, like I said. Butler is at his best. He alone will make it worth your time!
