Degens Andy S and Brandon Bombay are in total control of their environments as they talk about the modern bro-sterpiece 'Den of Thieves.' Bombay starts things off by remembering the time he made the same mistake as the main character, and ruined his chance with a girl by sexting the wrong number. Then the boys head to the Federal Reserve to deliver Chinese food they left in an air duct, and then grab their notepads and try to make sense of one of the most entertaining but beguilingly convoluted heist movies. All while attempting to avoid fixating on a certain 1995 crime classic that this movie overtly cribs from. Besides the confusing plot, this flick has a lot going for it including an ultra-sleazy performance from a bloated Gerard Butler as Big Nick — who belongs in the Degen Hall of Fame. Tonally, the movie is as hard to follow as the confounding heist caper, but it's a slick love letter to Los Angeles and features some surprisingly good performances (50 Cent), and a fantastic closing shootout. Come for the cops who party with prostitutes, and stay for the perplexing British accent used by Ice Cube's kid.
