The sequel to Zack Snyder's Army of the Dead is a lot of fun, as Army of Thieves goes full-on goofball heist mode. agracru's review:
is a film full of pleasant surprises, but Matthias Schweighöfer, playing a German safecracker with a hair-trigger for impassioned speeches about locks and bolts, is perhaps the most pleasant surprise of them all. The man has a twitchy sort of charm easily misidentified as “quirkiness.” In reality he’s well-mannered to a fault and polite to the point of timidity, but with one other propulsive quality buried beneath the affable veneer: Intensity.
Schweighöfer once again plays Ludwig Dieter, safecracker extraordinaire and veteran nerd, except now he goes by Sebastian. Ludwig Dieter is a chosen name. Living an ordinary life in Berlin, where he works a thankless job being abused by angry customers at a bank, taking his lunch breaks all by his lonesome, Sebastian perks himself up testing his mettle in daily speed safecracking challenges and by uploading videos on the ins, outs and history of safecracking online.
There’s not a lot of ground heist films haven’t covered, and nobody’s really out there baying for new ones, so Schweighöfer does something smart: He surrenders to tropes and tries to have fun instead of reinventing the wheel. Heist filmslayers a bit of meta-awareness over the heist scenes, especially the first, where the characters do the standard “go over the plan one more time” montage andthat they’re doing the “go over the plan one more time” montage.
If the film tried to hide the obvious payoffs to its jokes, they’d be insufferable. But the audience is in on the gag, which makes the gags work in spite of their transparency. It’s easy to make movies sing with just a little earnest sentiment., heist film it may be, is fundamentally earnest. Beneath the slick CGI safecracking shots and the hyper-edited vault sequences there lies Sebastian’s gentle heart. All he wants out of life is meaning.

Sudanese general ignored U.S. warning as army rolled out coup planHours before Sudan's army seized power and dissolved its government, a senior U.S. envoy warned the country's top general not to take any steps against the civilian administration that was overseeing a democratic transition, diplomats said. Jeffrey Feltman, President Joe Biden's special envoy for the Horn of Africa, flew into Khartoum two days before Monday's coup, as concerns mounted that the transition was running into trouble due to mounting tension between the generals and civilians. But instead of heeding the warning, the army did just the opposite, acting on a plan to seize power that two diplomats and three Sudanese official sources said had been developed over the preceding weeks.
