Are you fucking kidding me? These tactics were fucking stupid in here. Shooting full auto and still managing to keep peppering the police in the beginning? This movie was typical Hollywood garbage. Heat puts this 3rd grade intellect movie to shame.

[@methodman1052]

Ice Cube JR was basically the mastermind behind the entire heist the movie made it look like he is a traitor throughout the heist, all those stories he told Big Nick were all fiction and a set up. Ice Cube JR set up the entire team for death while they did all the dirty work and they all get killed. And Cube JR walked away with the money. I love this movie. now a sequal can be made. Here's a better explantion explained by another youtuber named +Michael Kaszniak Basically O'Shea Jackson Jr's character was behind the entire heist, his bar was close to the Federal Reserve that customers from there would come in and explain crucial details about it. He then got Merrimer to work for him, if merrimer called the shots. He also had the woman(who was flirting with him when he posed as the delivery guy) working for him, along with the two workers at the federal reserve, which is why he got the plans to all the ventilation shafts in the building. He then made sure that the cops would catch him, so he could then cut his ties with his "crew". He and his original crew went off to the U.K. to plan their next heist of robbing a jewelry exchange

[@flnnassn.6732]

MethodMan105 Bruh i dont understand why O'shea had to try out for driving merrimer and his crew around. So was the speeding ticket made up?

[@methodman1052]

+Dylan kyle it's a fake story he told to the cops. Cube JR was never the driver. I'm pretty sure the speeding ticket is also fake I have to re watch this part.

[@flnnassn.6732]

MethodMan105 yea i agree with err'ything you said except the speeding ticket. Like you telling the cops made that up too. Tf

You missed the point.Merriman did what he said he would do.Its sad but in this day and age someone literally has to do that.The end of the shootout was sad but believable.Dickheads dont die before they get a chance to shit the bed a hundred or so times in the nursing home.

[@nicolewilliams3434]

spunbearing65 ...What did he do? This movie had the potential to be so much more. There's a reason this script was floating around forever before it was made. The movie was completely predictable and but for Pablo Schreiber ( who I never even heard of before this film) I wouldn't have seen it. (You should see him in 13hours and thumper. He can actually act.) The acting was terrible and everything just made no sense. In the end the military trained sharp shooters couldn't kill at least one cop? 😐😐😐 But the cops killed all three of them , c'mon bullshit lol. Movies end like that because they don't like the message it sends when cops start getting killed in abundance in these types of movies. Sends a message .

Alternatively, to 'capture' him, so that he could 'reveal' Merriman's location to the cops. Doing so provides a further distraction while he escapes, and either kills/captures Merriman and his crew.

[@beauxjaangulz6380]

everyone was in on it. it was a question of who was getting away with the bag. it was a "mob-rob." a robbery scenario where everyone was in on it, theives, police, general public, everyone except the establishment getting robbed itself. i believe the two black guys working in the money-counting room were in on it and the asian security guard working at the federal reserve was definitely in on it, unquestionably.

I think oshae had extra guys in on it like the driver of the trash truck it shows him in london at the end but oshad pretends to stick him up in front of merrimen. Oshae also sold out merriment to big nick hoping he would kill them off and he wouldnt have to deal with merrimen hinself.

[@vespeneprotoss4346]

Yup. You are right. This video has some mistakes. For instance he says the robber accidentally shot the armored truck guy. It wasn't an accident ... armored truck guy in the 1st robbery goes for his gun. The film shows it twice I think, once in slowmo. Ice Cube's real crew are the ones in the soccer pic. The same ones who are now at the bar with him in London: Oleg, Samoan Guy, UFC guy, and the woman who was eating the week old rotten Chinese food without complaining. Everyone else wasn't part of the real crew but were used as patsies.

[@stikki8493]

It's good to see the background characters get the justice they deserve. Throughout the whole movie it was constantly focused on the driver being the snitch, with the background characters not doing much. But in the end the main characters were just pawns of his own scheme. It's similar to usual suspects and I really enjoyed the turn around, only near the end did I start putting the pieces together and realize just before it was revealed that he was the master mind of the whole operation.

[@MaguffinMan]

I had a blast with this movie. The definition of a popcorn flick.

[@1969Makaveli]

I loved Den Of Thieves that ending though was good in my opinion. All of the guest in the bar were thieves themselves all of them. I liked the ending, my best friend would like the ending of this compared to the ending in HEAT. He hated that ending cause he thought that Robert Deniro`s character should`ve been smart enough to not go back to the hotel to kill the snitch. When he could`ve gotten away with his woman, send in a hit squad to find and finish off dude that snitched on him & his crew. But Den Of Thieves ending was good cause he was smart and got away with it. For once the bad guys win.

[@PPPP-zi2bd]

1)The white russian looking guy at the london bar, Alexi. If you rewatched it, youll see there are 2 garbage truck drivers. The one exiting the reserve with the money and the one who got taken over by the main crew. Both drivers were apart of the 2nd team, the Alexi had the money, tipped his hat to Bas(the other driver), then took a right turn instead of a left. Bas replaced him by taking the fake garbage truck down the street where the main team followed it and "robbed" it. 2) Alexi took was the garbage truck with the real money and its assumed he just drove off and packaged the money with the 2nd crew another day. 3) Im guessing they didnt want to rip open the bags cause it would spill, they were in a rush, and/or they didnt expect to be double crossed.

Loved the movie. Could have been great if they had a better actor in O'sheas role. Next to butler and merrimens strong acting his stuck out like a sore thumb.

Who called the drop at 3:16 -you say its the manager, its not the bank manager - check 1:26:50 and then 1:29:55

[@roscoedash6673]

At the end you clearly didn't realize that the driving scene didn't actually happen. It was a lie that Donnie told the cops just to get out of the situation. In fact, every flashback scene where Donnie was talking to Nick was a lie. He never auditioned for Merriman, he was in control the whole time. You also didn't notice that there were people in the Federal Reserve working for Donnie as well. That's why he was able to walk out the building without checking in, the guard was in on the robbery as well. The only reason the guard even mentioned Donnie not checking in was to convey this fact to the audience. Both parties had plausible deniability, as the guard could just say it was an honest mistake, he didn't see him, etc. and Donnie can claim that he was just doing his job as a delivery man. The ladies who ordered the Chinese food were also working for Donnie. That's why they "conveniently" ordered the same food as before. The movie doesn't show this, but one could reasonably assume that the restaurant that Donnie "works" for is in on the robbery as well, and they could even have him clocked in at the time. And Chinese food places usually don't have cameras either, so Donnie has the perfect alibi. Also, the cops would be too preoccupied with the aftermath of the shootout with Merriman and crew to investigate the Federal Reserve building and figure out how Donnie did it. By the time they did that, Donnie, the guard, the Chinese-food-eating ladies, and the guys inside the Federal Reserve were out the country. The only unrealistic thing is that Donnie and crew flee to England. They should've picked a country that doesn't extradite criminal suspects to the US. Maybe Donnie is good enough at creating a new fake identity to still get away with it, but it's iffy. Somewhere in South America would've made more sense to flee to after committing such a high profile crime. The one thing I can't defend, though, is the Nick sending his GF a text he meant to send the stripper. It was cheesy, hard to believe, and wasn't even necessary for the story. If they needed a reason for him getting divorced, why not just have one of his wife's friends from the dinner catch him cheating and tell her? That also would've made Nick's douchey behavior at the Divorce paper signing dinner seem more justified. He seemed like an abusive stalker at that dinner and it made it impossible for me to root for him.

[@KBZ3000bc]

i didnt get it at the scene when Donnie was walking out the Federal bank at the end, and the two ladies were complaining about the food, why didnt his team member girl "which we dont know that until the end" didnt stop her friend from calling the security to buy him some time to run away???

[@WhoopEaterz]

Look at the garbage truck scene again.

[@KaayShawn]

Haithere it was all part of the plan so the the bad cop squad could get him; then drive to his fake crew to kill them and switch the money with fake money while the two groups we're fighting

[@naughts52]

The fake crew never had the real money from the get go you see this when the garbage truck with white guy driving real money leaves and crosses another garbage truck driven by asian guy they make eye contact white gives him the signal to swap routes and the movie was solved from their for me atleast...back to the point though the guard at the front desk works for horsepower the chicks call was a signal to go to next plan and that was to get horsepower caught by the police wich he calls thus how they located him so fast. You can see all the characters of the real crew in the soccer photo shown toward the end and watch for them threw out the movie.

[@heavenblessed06]

naughts52 yea I was initially confused as to when and how the shredded money happened but then I remembered the trucks. The bad guys hijacked the wrong one. It would've been nice if they had realized the money was no good while trying to get away. Lol

[@PPPP-zi2bd]

@@naughts52 The real crew is only made up of 3 others. Alex and Bas were the garbage truck drivers(alexi had the money, bas was decoy for the main crew), the flirty girl who consistently ordered food, and the somoan who was hacking. The guard was not apart of the plan, and the chick who called him was just a coworker of the girl who was flirty.

[@acsone3546]

People say “Heat Ripoff”. I say it took what Heat Built and ran with it. The ending standoff of actual brothers having to kill each other VS a cop who gained respect for a criminal’s principles having to kill him. The abject horror of Nick watching Merrimen become what he believes to be a civilian killer; then watching him be subverted by Merrimen’s genius tactical planning and always left wondering…

[@dumbdaryl]

this movie is really good, the plot twist was not expected! the shootout in the beginning and end was awesome.

[@tonnig6077]

I enjoyed this movie ending.

[@P_Soli]

I thought Gerard Butler was great

[@jacobstaten2366]

The whole time watching this, I just kept thinking it's a drunken Heat remake, but still fun.

[@dp_rawbeast]

"im always in control of my environment" 🔥🤙🏾🤙🏾

[@naquitathompson9768]

It didnt make sense, cause I didnt understand the part where he had to audition to be a driver???? Thanks for your break down

[@jonnyfendi2003]

those where O'sheas words to the cops as to why Merrimen would want to hire him, it was made up.

[@naquitathompson9768]

jonnyfendi2003 that make sense

[@flnnassn.6732]

jonnyfendi2003 so the speeding ticket was made up too, tf

[@jonnyfendi2003]

everything that Oshea was saying to the cops in Osheas words was made up to make it seem to the viewer that Oshea was nothing more than some random bum that was hired to drive and run errands, meanwhile you learn it was the other way around and it was Oshea that was running things that even Merrimen was clueless of.

[@flnnassn.6732]

jonnyfendi2003 i understand all that twist and shit but the major question is how tf was the speeding ticket made up if it was in the Cops database. Shit dont add up

[@SlothmanAAA]

The movie was good. I just ended it for the second time and I never do that. You should change the title to "I roast Den of thieves in five minutes" because you ain't explaining nothing but talking trash about the Butler and 50 Cent.

[@stasiesuggs6515]

Den of Thieves ending explained? Bro you just explained the ENTIRE film damn near scene for scene from start to finish.

[@user-tt8fg3dd4c]

rly gooodddd movie.good work man

[@austinryan9382]

Bro I think you missed the point in a lot of scenes , like merrimans stripper girl slept with butlers character to get his cell # so merriman could call him from the bank ... also how in the hell would ice cube jr just get in through the vents !?! He couldnt just enter the vents to get in , he just used the vents to get to the bathroom and his carry out bag he left. It wasn't a perfect movie but I dont agree with your view that this movie was full of plot holes... just my opinion and thanks for the video.

[@roscoedash6673]

The twist clearly went over his head. The lobby guard at the Fed, the black dudes in the money room, the women ordering Chinese food, all worked for Donnie and were in on the robbery. And Donnie never had that driving audition, he made the story up. WOOSH right over his head lol

[@gu3rby54]

Austin Ryan merriman's stripper girl also slept with Bulger to give him misleading information about the heist

[@johnjacob688]

If he was able to get into the bathroom from the vent then he also could have gotten into the count room from the vent making the trip inside the box pointless.

[@austinryan9382]

John Jacob .... ooo im sorry I didn't know you had the blueprints of the vent system loool, this is your opinion with nothing to back it up kind sir. Again any movie has its flaws but just didn't think this movie was full of plot holes like mentioned. And beside if he entered the count room through the vents he would of had to sign In at the front desk.

[@johnjacob688]

So now I need blueprints to know that what he did could've been done in reverse? I really don't understand why you got so agitated about that.

[@ricohang7862]

Didn't explained it so well man.. nice effort though.. 😉

[@LetMeExplain]

What else did you need help with?

[@virgilatmit]

Just a minor correction. The money they brought into the reserve ($2.7 mil) with the cart came from the stadium heist of the rave (the only part of that heist shown was when they were cleaning up the money and looking for the dye packs). They didn’t take any money from the Savings and Loan.

[@DerrBeezy]

This movie was awesome asf glad I watched it
