Movies like Den of Thieves

If you're after that cat-and-mouse procedural tension between cops and criminals who respect each other's craft, Heat and The Departed are probably your best bets—they build sustained intensity through tactical anticipation and moral ambiguity in roughly equal measure. The Town and Money Heist will likely scratch the same itch for meticulous heist planning colliding with law enforcement that stays one step ahead, though The Town leans heavier on the action while Money Heist stretches the cat-and-game across multiple timelines. If you want to escalate the international scope and explosive confrontation, Den of Thieves: Pantera follows the same obsessive manhunt logic but amplified across continents.
