The thieves manage to escape with allegedly over £200 million worth of stolen jewels and money.

Critics Consensus: King of Thieves unites an incredible cast for a heist movie brimming with potential -- most of which, sadly, evaporates long before the end credits have started to roll.

Once the heist itself has been pulled off we see the men slowly let their greed take over. They start to mistrust one another, never fully aware of just how much they’ve snagged. This can and has worked before, but it doesn’t here.

King of Thieves harbors no illusions about ensnaring the viewer's nostalgia for the British gangster films that inspired it, nor does it hesitate to shower affection onto its cast.

The attempt at a crossover between a cockney-style Ealing comedy and a gritty criminal drama feels disjointed and, given the talent involved, a little amateurish.

The story of the biggest burglary in British legal history, committed by a group of elderly and experienced thieves in 2015. A great story and a great cast, both of which deserved a better film.

Much like the characters, though, its joints are creaky and its foundations crumble.
