And last but not the least, the thieves/robbers must be pursued by a competent enough antagonist.Īlright. Ergo, no Ocean’s Twelve (2004) or American Animals (2018). But no artwork or something that cannot be easily exchanged for money. The heist has to involve a vault/room with valuable items in it i.e. Hence, no The Old Man and the Gun (2018). Therefore, no Tenet (2020) or Inception (2010). So, for the sake of simplicity and specificity, the heist in a film needs to be literal. Because a “heist” or a “caper” has become a broad term and anything with a MacGuffin (a plot device used in films or books that sets the characters into motion and drives the story) can be called a heist film nowadays. Now, before delving into my suggestions, I would like to let you know that I have constructed this list whilst following some self-imposed parameters inspired by the ‘Army of Thieves’. That said, if you’re in the mood to watch other heist movies that are better or just like Army of Thieves, then I have just the list for you.

In my opinion though, despite checking all the boxes for making a successful heist film, Schweighöfer has failed to turn it into an engaging experience.

At the time of writing this article, it has received favorable reviews. Army of Thieves (2021), the prequel to Zack Snyder’s Army of the Dead (2021), was recently unleashed on Netflix, giving us a detailed look into Ludwig Dieter’s (Matthias Schweighöfer) world before he ventured into Las Vegas.
