One of the best heist thriller movies of recent years is on TV tonight

The 2018 action film stars Gerald Butler and O'Shea Jackson Jr.

The film is perfect if you're in the mood for a high-octane crime thriller tonight.

Directed by Christian Gudegast, this gritty thriller follows an intense cat-and-mouse game between an elite unit of the LA County Sheriff’s Department and a highly organised gang of bank robbers.

Led by the tough and unconventional 'Big Nick' O'Brien (played by Gerard Butler), the sheriff's unit becomes obsessed with stopping a crew planning an ambitious heist on the Federal Reserve Bank.

As the story unfolds, both sides experience shifting loyalties, unexpected twists, and a blurring of moral lines.

With intense sequences, complex characters and a runtime of 2 hours and 20 minutes, it's a solid choice for an evening of suspense and action.

Furthermore, the sequel, Den of Thieves 2: Pantera, drops on Amazon Prime Video on April 25.

Before then, Den of Thieves airs on Film4 tonight at 11.05pm.
