In Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, a group of unlikely heroes want to pull off an impossible coup
Edgin (Chris Pine) and Holga (Michelle Rodriguez) have been a team for years. But the final heist with the villain Forge (Hugh Grant) backfired horribly. Forge delivered his partners and took it valuable artifact even under the nail. The other two have been in prison ever since. But the two hotheads can’t be fooled that easily.
They break out and gather allies to… to steal the artifact back. They get to know the talentless magician Simon (Justice Smith) and the stubborn druid Doric (Sophia Lillis). Things aren’t all that harmonious among them, and Edgin’s plans aren’t actually of any use either. But somehow it will all work out.
Unfortunately, it soon becomes clear that the group has embarked on an adventure that… is much more dangerous than expected.

And we mean it seriously: Dungeons and Dragons just has everything. An original world that is absolutely gigantic, filled with its own creatures, myths and stories? There is. A great, classic heist story with plotting and improvisation? There is. Characters that grow close to our hearts in a very short space of time in their unique way? Yes, that too.
It cannot be emphasized enough how The cast plays in an incomparably rousing way and fulfilled all roles with flying colors. Pine, Rodriguez and their team bring an infectiously warm chemistry. Grant is clearly enjoying his villain era. Without exception, everyone here seems to have had the fun of their life and wants to pass that on to the audience.
It is precisely from this fun that the humor of the film arises Train your laughing muscles extensively becomes. Nevertheless, tension, epic action and emotional moments are not neglected. All the more reason to hope that the world opened here will be used even more and that a part 2 will still come about. Unfortunately, the film flopped at the box office.
Let yourself be taken on an incomparable fantasy adventure and give Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves a chance. The film can can be streamed on Netflix from today.
