'Den of Thieves 2' Is on Netflix, but 'Everybody Loves Diamonds' Is Better

Life is stranger than fiction. But fiction always has a desire to replay life’s strangest moments. They go hand in hand. This is certainly the case with the Antwerp diamond heist from 2003. More than $100 million in diamonds were stolen from the Antwerp World Diamond Centre in Belgium. Most recently, this daring robbery was revisited in Gerard Butler’s Den of Thieves 2: Pantera. This cinematic take on the real-world event takes a step further and brings the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, as well as the mafia, into the mix. The sequel to the 2018 crime film also did well enough to garner a sequel as well as spinoffs that will take place in different parts of the world. While the excitement is definitely there, interested viewers should know that another feature from two years ago also took a look at “the heist of the century.”
