What Big Nick’s new role means for Den of Thieves 2
How Pantera changes the structure of the first film
The first movie portrays Big Nick as an obsessed cop, determined to take down Ray Merrimen (Pablo Schreiber) and his team no matter the cost. The fact that the sequel sees Nick switching sides and becoming a robber suggests that he was indeed tolerated by the LAPD after the The thieves Finally, and perhaps what happened to him goes beyond just being fired.
