Master thief Edgin (Chris Pine) wants to steal a magical artifact to bring his wife back to life and enlists the help of a motley crew, including a hopeless wizard and a mysterious shapeshifter. Along the way, the gang encounters all sorts of adventures. Humorous heist film set in the world of role-playing games Dungeons & Dragonswith directors and co-writers John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein performing an impressive balancing act: Honor Among Thieves bounces back and forth between melodrama, slapstick, farce and CGI action, and surprisingly it works on every level. Fine popcorn entertainment, thanks also to the perfectly cast Pine as the arrogant charmer you come to love. Daley and Goldstein were previously responsible for Game Night (2018), one of the funniest Hollywood comedies of recent years.
