‘Den of Thieves 2’ Was Inspired by Robert De Niro’s Heist Movie ‘Ronin’
Despite Gudegast acknowledging numerous classic European crime movies from the French New Wave era as influences, he firmly believes that “Ronin” holds a greater impact on “Den of Thieves: Pantera” than any other. At the very least, fans of “Den of Thieves” should gain a deeper understanding of the intentional path Gudegast has chosen for the franchise and consider watching “Ronin” to notice the similarities between the two European crime films.
