The following contains spoilers for Den of Thieves 2: PanteraThe lovers of scuzzy "dad movies" out there have secured another win with the success of Den of Thieves 2: Pantera, a follow-up to Gerard Butler and O'Shea Jackson Jr.

Owen Gleiberman of Variety calls Den of Thieves 2: Pantera a satisfying impersonation of a high-end crime film, saying that Gerard Butler is good enough to lift “a piece of pulp so it almost seems like a real movie.” The critic continues:

Gerard Butler loved performing high-risk stunts during the making of the heist sequel 'Den of Thieves 2: Pantera'.

Pantera leaves viewers wondering if thieves can ever be in total alignment when it’s against their true nature. In this franchise sequel, O’Shea Jackson Jr. and Gerard Butler band together as unlikely forces and blur the lines between the actions of an anti-hero and a real villain.
