A prequel, set before the events of Army of the Dead, which focuses on German safecracker Ludwig Dieter leading a group of aspiring thieves on a top secret heist during the early stages of the zombie apocalypse.
More Safes. Less Zombies.
Army of Thieves
I have watched this movie once. This was on .
Review
A perfectly serviceable heist movie with some unusual characters. A very loose prequel to Army of the Dead. The eccentric protagonist awkwardly working with a bunch of misfits to unlock three famously complex bank vaults is a unique premise. It mostly works, but it feels a little repetitive by the third act and the third heist. There are some over-the-top secondary characters, but the main two have good chemistry and dynamic which carries the movie.
