Den of Thieves 2 is a surprisingly decent sequel that improves upon the original. PLOT: After his life is ruined in the wake of his reckless behavior, LASD cop Nick O’Brien (Gerard Butler) heads to Antwerp to track down his former foe, Donnie Wilson (O’Shea Jackson Jr.). However, instead of revenge, Nick wants to cash in and joins forces with him to rob the World Diamond Center.  REVIEW: I wasn’t the world’s biggest fan of the original Den of Thieves. It felt like a lame retread of Heat, albeit without any of Michael Mann’s style and substance – but hey,…

2018’s Den Of Thieves delivered the goods (as a kind of junior version of Michael Mann’s classic Heat which matched De Niro and Pacino) and a ballsy attempt to rob the unrobbable Los Angeles Federal Reserve. It did modest but respectable business globally considering its limited ambitions, and that apparently was just enough to justify a sequel which takes Gerard Butler, O’Shea Jackson and company to Europe and another brazen robbery plan this time at the top security World Diamond Center in Nice where the cop and the crook join forces to penetrate a thief-proof vault full of valuable deposit…

As a movie star, Gerard Butler owns January the way Will Smith once owned Memorial Day and the “Meg” films own August. That Butler’s B-movie thrillers now hold sway over the frozen, box-office-lite oblivion of the early weeks of the year may seem a Pyrrhic victory, but at least he’s the king of something. And Butler’s brusque, beady-eyed, scowling-hulk charisma has aged well. A quick-fire actor in a caveman’s body, he has the ability to lift a piece of pulp so it almost seems like a real movie. For much of its two-hour-and-24-minute running time, “Den of Thieves 2: Pantera,”…

There is a ravishing kind of beauty in Tommaso Santambrogio’s lyrical triptych of contemporary Cuban life, “Oceans Are the Real Continents.” With black and white cinematography that privileges an exacting formalism throughout, this portrait of the island works hard to defamiliarize the very sun-dappled, colorful image of Cuba that so dominates the cultural imaginary. An intergenerational study on exile and belonging, Santambrogio has crafted a staid travelogue whose poetic sensibility is both what makes it such an intriguing proposition and also quite an alienating one. “Oceans Are the Real Continents” — whose very title nudges audiences to reimagine how it…
