“Den Of Thieves 2: Pantera” (*1/2 out of four) was a misbegotten sequel to the 2018 hit about the return of Big Nick (a grizzled Gerard Butler) who is operating in Europe and closing in on an organized crime king (led by O’shea Jackson, Jr. looking more like his father in every film) involving the Pantera mafia as they plot a diamond heist exchange. A few exciting action set pieces but like the original it wallows in unpleasantness and excess (and overlength) and wears you out. Noted kickboxer and MMA champion Rico Verhoeven adds some style as a key henchman.
