Donnie Wilson joins Jovanna’s Panther Crew in Antwerp, Belgium, to steal data and a red diamond from an airfield hangar. They take off dressed as SWAT.

A diamond vault at the World Diamond Centre in Nice, France, is the target of the Panthers’ next theft plot. Donnie enters the bank under the pretense as an executive, and Nick learns of Donnie’s participation via Detective Hugo of the local police department. Nick pushes his way into the crew after meeting Donnie. Nick is introduced by Jovanna to Chava, their insider and the wife of the vault manager. In the meantime, the Sicilian mafia plots revenge after being incensed over the red diamond that was stolen.

Nick flirts with Jovanna during the Panthers’ club party, which leads to a fight between Nick and her ex-boyfriends Marko and Vuk. The mafia kidnaps Nick and Donnie after they are expelled from the club and demands that the diamond be returned to their boss, the notorious Octopus. Nick meets Hugo at a church after being fired, and then he decides to go ahead with the theft again. After their altercation, Jovanna declares that Marko and Vuk have left the crew.

Nick works with Donnie to sketch out the vault while posing as a security contractor. By evading observation and breaking safes, the group carefully infiltrates. They manage to get the diamond and money, but their escape is fraught with difficulties. Nick saves the group by improvising under duress, but he draws the notice of the guards. Before Nick, Donnie, and crew member Slavko continue their escape to the Italian border, they reorganize and depart, moving their haul to Jovanna’s van. However, Marko and Vuk, who are in charge of a rival gang called the Tigers, ambush the group to murder them and take their treasure. The three Panthers are spared when the Octopus goons murder Marko and Vuk. The mob spares their life once Donnie returns the gem.

The crew is arrested by French officials while the Panthers rejoice in Italy. Though he feels bad about betraying his new pals, Nick is shown to have spied on the crew during his prior run-in with Hugo. Later, when Nick confronts Donnie in prison, he acknowledges his dual nature but also says that their friendship is genuine before implying that they might be able to get out. Donnie is abducted when the mafia ambushes the convoy while he is being transported to another institution. The Octopus is so impressed by Donnie’s abilities that he hires him. Nick drives along the coast and receives a thank-you text message from Donnie after helping the mafia rescue him.

Den Of Thieves 2: Pantera Movie (January 2025 Film) Reviews

Michael Lockwood
Does a sequel to a great Den Of Thieves 2: Pantera Movie (January 2025 Film) guarantee a great follow-up? Not necessarily. Let me explain. Den of Thieves was a sleeper hit. While it drew comparisons to Heat, it had its unique flair and, in some ways, even echoed Bad Boys 2. I loved the first film—it’s not flawless, but it’s a fantastic action thriller.
Den Of Thieves 2: Pantera Movie (January 2025 Film) isn’t a bad film by any means, but it’s a very different one. Think of the contrast between Ocean’s Eleven and Ocean’s Twelve. Sure, there’s still a heist, but the recipe has changed, and so have most of the ingredients—aside from O’Shea Jackson and Gerard Butler, who are back. The sequel leans more into suspense and slow burns rather than relying on action, shootouts, and full-blown gunfights. There are still some intense moments, but the heart-pounding chaos we got in the original is replaced with a more measured approach.

Christian John Lozano
Despite this, the first film had a lot of action. There was a lot of talking, jokes, and fun in the first section of this second Den Of Thieves 2: Pantera Movie (January 2025 Film). I liked how they used a plot twist, and the heist at the end was amazing. Those that left a one-star review should not be taken seriously.
Thanks to the director and the cast, especially Oshea Jackson Jr. and Gerald Butler.
I’m in favor of and grateful for your film. Gerald Butler is a huge fan of mine. One day, I hope to meet everyone of you in person. I’m grateful for this fantastic film. I’m hoping for more films.

I thought the first one’s tribute to Heat (a timeless classic) was fantastic. Although Den Of Thieves 2: Pantera Movie (January 2025 Film) was enjoyable, I thought it was a bit long and could have easily cut away 20 to 30 minutes or made greater use of that time. However, the character development, action, and tension were all excellent. I hope a trilogy is released before it takes another seven or eight years. To revive the cinematic experience, we need more films like this one. O’Shea and Butler make a fantastic team. Before those guys became Avengers, Fast & Furious should have aimed to be like the Den of Thieves universe. Go ahead and watch this after treating yourself to the first one.

Sharron Blair
Fantastic Den Of Thieves 2: Pantera Movie (January 2025 Film). Checked all the boxes for action, intrigue, and build-up. With romantic (Gerard Butler is gorgeous, etc.) and friendly moments.
Reminiscent of Oceans VIII, but with a James Bond vibe.
We embarked on a journey that took us to Europe and all of its history and culture.I appreciate the excitement and escape.
Gerard Butler, you never fail to wow with your rugged, gorgeous appearance. Modest, large, and strong, with delicate and reflective times.
I still believe in you, Gerard Butler.
