    A great cast and a good old heist - what's not to enjoy? I remember hearing about the Hatton Garden stuff when it happened and subsequently saw the television miniseries on ITV in 2019. That aforementioned show is very good, as is this 2018 film. It's a pretty simple film to make and act, hence why there are three films about this premise out there. However, that doesn't stop it being entertaining to see unfold. The casting is obvious but, again, suits the production's needs perfectly. Michael Caine (Brian), Jim Broadbent (Terry), Charlie Cox (Basil), Michael Gambon (Billy) and Ray Winstone (Danny) all feature. Caine and Cox give the more memorable performances, but they all act well enough. I like how the film portrays all of the criminals as criminals, none of them are good people and aren't shown as such. I also rate the humour, which is minor but nevertheless amusing in most parts. There's a few other little things that I appreciated, including the archive footage edit of the main group. Each to their own, but I enjoyed <em>'King of Thieves'</em>.
