King of Thieves

[zico]

3/10. Disappointing robbery story about the Hatton Gardens jewellery theft by a load of pensioner criminals.

Michael Caine, Jim Broadbent, Ray Winstone, Michael Gambon, Tom Courtenay and Paul Whitehouse are pretty much wasted in this, though Ray Winstone takes on the challenge of portraying a cheeky, dodgy, cockney gangster geezer. Film just runs out of things to do or say, with half an hour to go, and ends up showing lots of footage of Michael Caine mooching around rooms on his own. Jim Broadbent is the best thing in it with a surprisingly pyscho turn.
