Another viewer appreciated the film's attention to detail and wrote: "One thing that I really loved in #ArmyofThieves which might go unnoticed was the costume design and hair styles, it was just such a cool detail in the film. Props to the designers and stylists."

A third added: "Absolutely loved #ArmyOfThieves A top tier prequel to #ArmyOfTheDead and such an interesting back story to Dieter. A cheesy heist flick that doesn't take itself too seriously. @missnemmanuel stole the show, hope she reunites with Dieter for #PlanetOfTheDead."

Meanwhile, Army of Thieves has also got viewers talking as two of the movie's stars are dating in real life. Ruby O. Fee, who stars as Korina, and Matthias Schweighöfer, who directed the flick and also who plays Ludwig Diete, are in a relationship. The couple struck up a romance in 2019, prior to the film's production, and often share sweet photos of each other on social media.
