Based upon the 1992 novel Rum Punch written by Elmore Leonard, Tarantino wrote the screenplay with Grier in mind and she’s at the top of her game as a cunning and fearless con artist on the rise. The follow-up to Quentin Taratino’s massively successful film, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown was not as prosperous at the box office and is often overlooked when compared to other Tarantino films. Jackie and Max band together to pull off a dangerous heist that involves conning everyone from the cops to Robbie, and from there Jackie Brownis a vibrant, thrilling ride with old-timers and newcomers all trying to stiff one another out of a large sum of money.
The agents convince Jackie to help them catch Robbie in exchange that she won’t go to jail, and she seeks out the help of a bail bondsman, Max Cherry, portrayed by Robert Forster in an Academy Award-nominated role. Pam Grier is Jackie Brown, an underpaid flight attendant who gets busted by ATF agent Ray Nicolette ( Michael Keaton) and detective Mark Dugus ( Michael Bowen) after smuggling money into the country for a cold-blooded arms dealer, Ordell Robbie, played by a gleefully wicked Samuel L. If you want more exhilarating heists with colorful grifters and extravagant thieves seeking everything from money to revenge, here are 13 movies like Army of Thieves to watch. He’s sucked into a chaotic world of crime after a mysterious woman ( Nathalie Emmanuel) recruits him to pull off some of the most ambitious safe-cracks of all time, and the result is a fun, fast-paced action comedy with zombies scattered on the sidelines.Īrmy of Thieves functions like a well-oiled machine and steals many classic tropes from beloved heist movies with pickpockets, getaway drivers, hackers, and gunmen all vying for a chance to become rich before the end of the world. A prequel to the apocalyptic zombie film Army of the Dead, Matthias Schweighöfer reprises his role as the master safecracker, Ludwig Dieter. As Army of Thieves remains within the top ten most-watched films on Netflix after its release on October 29, it’s not surprising that viewers still can’t get enough of its charismatic criminals, wisecracks, and of course, nail-biting heists.
