“King Of Thieves” (**1/2 out of four) was a moderately entertaining comedy melodrama based on a true story about a group of elderly and retired crooks (Michael Caine, Michael Gambon, Jim Broadbent, Tom Courtenay, and Ray Winstone) who plan one last job in London’s jewelry district which snowballs into a nightmare of greed and murder as everyone finds their worst instincts rising to the surface. Caine and company’s effortless charisma and camaraderie and film’s gritty true-story events make this engaging but there’s a fundamental emptyness to the script and story that prevent this from fully detonating. Not all that different when you think about it than one of Caine’s last features “Going In Style.”
