It's not a bad thriller. It doesn't pretend to be original, but it looks interesting, although the final part turned out to be somewhat messy and crumpled. Matt Damon and Ben Affleck are back together on screen, they interact perfectly and add solidity to the film, without them, this tape would still be perceived much worse.

Well, somehow I wasn't impressed. Damon in the form of an old man is no longer some kind of cake, Affleck is also with an ugly and undisclosed role. Some kind of by-product came out with two or three celebrities and a couple of nounames. The plot doesn't develop at all, Damon's pauses don't add color either. In general, a passing average. I looked and forgot.

P.S. Well, the ending sucks. Sipping a beer, looking at how happy other people are, and you're left with your load of problems.

@san: I would not say that the plot is not developing, for me, everything is normal with its pace.

The plot is more about questions with holes: for example, why did these two traitors (an Asian man and a man in an armored car) initially kill Jackie at the beginning of the film? And how did they know about the jackpot if Daisy (the girl from the house) only told Jackie about it?
If they somehow found out about the jackpot, then why didn't they steal it right away, without complicating the general collection (earlier, Jackie would do something about it). If they knew that there was a jackpot, but didn't know where it was, then killing Jackie is even dumber, because they could get his place out of her. In general, either the explanation of this moment escaped me, or it's some kind of fakap.

@AlinaBykova: The film says that they knew about the big money cache, but they didn't know the location. And they could have simply overheard about the cache. Unofficially, they couldn't take him away in any way, for some reason - the answer is higher. And if they tried, there would be questions they couldn't answer. They killed her because they knew she wouldn't tell them anything and would become an unnecessary witness.

It's a good action movie with a plot where, until the last moment, one character is presented to the viewer as bad, but in fact a completely different character turns out to be a scoundrel.

Well, that's it.. I expected a lot, of course. There is no plot, the action scenes are not impressed, which are still only at the end and in the dark. The film is full of empty conversations about nothing. I was disappointed by the film, although I've been waiting for a long time.

Well, that's a cool movie, an old-school one, not just a dumb action movie, but also a detective, a thriller with a small problem. It's interesting right
Almost the whole movie is boring, at the end they shot it, ran around with a shaking camera somewhere out there, and that's it.
Damn, I started watching the movie because of the cast, I thought they'd show fights with Adkins, the brutal Affleck. The film was disappointing
At first, the film was confusing and incomprehensible, but then everything became very tense. Intrigue on intrigue. It was interesting. Once for an evening is very good.
We're the good guys. And we always will be. (c)

Honestly, I watched it because of Affleck and Damon, I just like their bromance.
The movie is pretty average, I wasn't hooked, but it's good to watch it once.
We ran through empty houses/streets in the dark the whole movie, got hit by blanks and found a rat cop. The entire budget was merged into a bunch of cover faces.

I would say that this creation is quite possible to miss the eyes 😬

It's not exactly wow, but it's not too bad either. A strong, entertaining action movie with a stellar cast. their duo is back together and it basically works.

the film begins very sensibly and cheerfully. a kind of black jokes, dynamics and all the inherent genre of bullying with chases.
but still, at some point, the film sags and tries to be more somber or something..

It's just another action movie, dozens of them. there is nothing new here and everything works according to a well-established pattern.
just another story about corrupt cops. It's cliched, but I'm not sorry for the time spent.
perhaps the cast also played a role in many ways, but already as it is.

Quite in the spirit of Netflix action movies, even the plot twist is predictable. However, the action was expected to be something like in "Desolation" with Hardy. But the Affleck and Damon duet, which many of the viewers are happy to see).

It's a great movie. It was like old school. And the acting duo of Damon and Affleck is one of the best. As if they really were brothers.

And who can tell me what kind of black ribbons they had on their badges and why? As a sign of mourning for the murdered captain?
@Zombieset: Yes, this is a sign of mourning for a fallen colleague.

Den of Thieves, on the contrary, is also on minimums. It would be much more useful for the soul to watch a joint interview between Damon and Affleck with Joe Rogan, at least it explains why cinema has begun to decline so significantly in quality since the mid-2010s.

It doesn't seem to be anything like that, but such a heat of passion, yes, it was clear from the very beginning who was who, but I repeat, the heat is just fiery) I watched Damon and Affleck play with great pleasure)
It's just a pity that Chris from S.W.A.T. was discharged quickly, I haven't seen her anywhere for a long time.
In general, it looks like a 4-star, a good one.

xs even. I didn't really like the outcome of the plot, it was as far-fetched and unnatural as possible. but otherwise, in principle, + is not bad, the vibe is the same type as Doomsday night. although the shaking camera effect is complete bullshit. in general, it is difficult to estimate, well, with a stretch of 6/10, + half the ball for fraternal embraces of Afleck and Adkins 😀 total 6.5
It's a very good action movie. Especially for netflix. Well, a huge plus is the next reunion of Ben and Matt on the screen. I recommend it to those who like movies about crime and corrupt cops. The twist is probably a bit secondary, but I was still doubtful up to a certain point.

I liked it, it was light. I liked the unexpected twist in the script. From the very beginning to the middle of the movie, I thought that Damon was bad, and then I got confused, and when I realized, I thought, this is a cool idea.
Ben Affleck and Scott Adkins play brothers. Finally. I always thought they were a bit alike :)

At the beginning, nothing is clear. You just sit there and stick it in: what's happening? You can't help but reach for the phone to study the rules and regulations of drug control in the States. However, she resisted.
But somewhere in the middle of the film, the plot began to turn around, and very cheerfully.
I liked. It's a cool action movie with a plot that's not typical for me. The ending was slightly blurred, but as for me, everything is quite logical)

Great plot twist 👍
I did not expect delight from the film, but it came when the traitors were split in the "armored car" 🙊
And it seems that they put something in their pockets or not, why did Damon name the amounts to his two female colleagues and tell them to remember?
And at the very end, on the beach, a woman calls the girls "Jackie, where are you, baby"? Why did Ben and Damon look at each other like that? 🤔

@WinnyQ: why did damon tell his two female colleagues the amounts and tell them to remember

Most likely, the procedure is to understand that no one stole anything.

Why did Ben and Damon look at each other like that?

the son's name was Jake, another reminder of him + at the end they wrote "Dedicated to Jake William Kasiano"

It's a pretty good movie. Without a bunch of corpses, explosions, as much action as possible and with a moderate brain strain in solving the question "Who screwed up?".
We've assembled a normal cast-Ben &Matt, Glenn from "The Walkers," the immortal Richard from "Lost," Hector Salazar from "Sons of Anarchy," the new Supergirl, and a bunch of other interesting people.
And yes, it seemed to me that the cartel eliminated all cops, no matter if it was one or a whole platoon. And here it's expensive! 0_o

Everything that is acquired by backbreaking work.

The captain of a police drug squad has been killed in Miami. Soon, her deputy and new squad leader, Lieutenant Dumars (Matt Damon), receives an anonymous tip. The team, which already has a growing distrust of everyone, goes to the address to withdraw the drug cartel's money.

Are we good people? Yes, and we always will be.

The beginning of a "Tasty morsel" (in police slang, "rip" is a confiscation seized from criminals), in which corrupt cops, honest (or not?) detectives, annoying feds, a tough anti-drug squad and a frostbitten Colombian cartel promise a hot final showdown with everyone. Moreover, director Joe Carnahan has experience in this kind of films. Take a look at his wild "Trump Aces". Seriously, take a look. And here the director took as a basis the personal experience of police Captain Chris Kasiano. Yes, we know what filmmakers usually get from "based on a true story," but it still adds extra weight to everything that happens. And Carnahan can play drama when he needs to.

And then there's the detective intrigue: who's on the "rat" team? And does it exist at all? Here we must pay tribute to Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. They do everything possible and impossible for them to convey the spirit of distrust between two old friends and colleagues who suddenly found out that one of them might be a traitor. It's a pity that Damon and Affleck don't often star in movies together, given their friendship. And the remaining members of the squad, among whom Glenn from "The Walking Dead" and DiCaprio's wife from "Battle after Battle" are seen, contribute to the confusion. In general, the tension builds up over the course of the film, like in a real thriller or even a horror movie. You know, such a "Something", but without monsters from outer space biting off your hands.

"You have a Colombian flag over your fireplace, and we're cops." It's not too hard to guess who the money belongs to.
- Not all Colombians are the same.
"But they have great coke." Actually, all the coke is in the USA...
and they also have great food.
"But they don't hide her in the walls.

And in general, everything is going pretty well, right up to the last third of the film. It turns out that there is no normal action and there won't be any more. Well, the last scene was slightly reminiscent of the chase from the fourth Uncharted. But that's not the main point. I was ready to perceive the "Tidbit" as a high-quality crime detective a la 36 Orfevre Embankment without piling up useless shootings from empty to empty. Really: Dozens of clips are fired into the void here. Without even seeing where and why they were shooting.

The biggest problem is that here are literally your most dismal guesses about the basic questions (who is the rat? Who killed the captain? Who sent the tip?) they will most likely be correct. Okay, the last question is optional. You really don't have to look at it carefully at all. But from a really cool start and not a small number of famous actors, choose the most obvious option? I don't know, maybe I watched too many episodes of the TV series "Shield", where the local task force even robbed the Armenian money train, and the local schematics look too simple, but I had more interesting solutions in my head.

"Tidbit" could have turned out to be a really cool movie (even if not a pure-blooded action movie), but the weak ending leaves a bad aftertaste in the style of "in the end we got into a class B movie."

P.S. Why was Scott Adkins called here, who can throw people around by the ton? Is it just because of his resemblance to Affleck, or because Adkins starred in Carnahan's "Trigger Day"? They would have invited Casey Affleck. So it would be more logical, since the role does not involve physical effort.
P.P.S. Did Carnahan just watch "Reach for Heaven"?

RATING: 3.5 Vika Maki out of 5
But I liked it both simple and good, that's all.😁👍

A typical action thriller with pretentious cops and a lack of depth. Looking purely at the background, even the caste doesn't really save
After the powerful collaborations of Ben Affleck and Matt Damon in "The Last Duel" and "Air," the bar of expectations was quite high, but this time the duo produced just a solid product without any special revelations.
​According to the plot, this is a classic crime thriller about two cop partners who find a mountain of money and make not the smartest decision. Director Joe Carnahan, known for "Aces of Trumps," was clearly trying to catch up with dark, dirty realism in the spirit of the 90s. The chemistry between the main actors is perhaps what makes this movie worth including at all. Affleck and Damon are embedded in the frame, their dialogues and dynamics feel absolutely natural, even when the script begins to sag.
​But outside of acting, the film has nothing much to brag about. The story seems secondary: if you've watched "Training Day," "City of Thieves," or "Triple Frontier," then most of the plot moves will seem painfully familiar to you. There is no emotional strain or philosophical depth that usually distinguish the projects of this couple. The action is delivered cheerfully, but without frills - everything is very standard for modern streaming.
​As a result, this is a typical one-time movie. Fans of the duo will definitely enjoy their interaction, but the film is unlikely to fall into the golden fund of the genre. Watching, relaxing and forgetting after a couple of days is the ideal scenario for such a viewing.

A tense action thriller. Great cast!
But it was immediately clear that the man from the DEA was a nit, as soon as he appeared, it was clear, and the fact that Glenn was also in business somewhere in the middle became clear!
So-so movies. You can take a look at it once, but it's a little boring and murky. And unrealistic. And I also hoped until the last moment that the team would at least keep a small jackpot for themselves, share it in the finals. It seemed right and fair. And it would somehow enliven the plot. But the characters of Affleck and Damon turned out to be disgustingly righteous.)

Brutal, dark, and incredibly stupid. It is correctly written that Netflix, instead of ten excellent actors, is better to invest money in screenwriters.
