YMMV / Army of Thieves

• Director Displacement: Zack Snyder is only producer here, (and has a story credit) but that doesn't prevent his name from tending to be mentioned substantially more than that of its main star and director, Matthias Schweighöfer, in Internet talks about the film.
• Fanon Discontinuity: Some fans of this movie (especially Sebastien and Gwendoline shippers) prefer to ignore its tie-ins to Army of the Dead and look at it as a standalone story.
• Magnificent Bitch:
  • Gwendoline Starr leads a band of thieves in Europe, orchestrating many heists throughout the continent. Wanting to steal from the three safes made by legendary safe builder Hans Wagner, Gwendoline recruits Sebastian Schlencht-Wöhnert to her band after seeing his safecracking skills in actions, having him successfully crack the first two safes while also evading the authorities. Leaving Brad Cage band when the latter abandons Sebastian, she and Korina find Sebastian and convince him to help them crack the third safe in Switzerland. Literally stealing the third safe and eventually cracking it, Gwendoline subdues Brad and leaves him for Interpol to arrest before allowing she herself to be arrested so that Sebastian may escape and giving him a identity new so he could start a new life.
  • Korina Dominguez is a brilliant hacker who uses her skills to help Gwendoline Starr pull off many heists thought to be impossible. She displays her genius in the first two safe heists by hacking into security cameras and later into Interpol's severs to have them go on wild goose chases so her band can succeed in their heists. Korina later follows Gwendoline Starr when she decides to leave Brad Cage and help her and Sebastian steal the third safe in Switzerland. She then tries to stop Brad and Rolph from pursuing Gwendoline and Starr before finding a way to warn her allies of them, upon being captured by Interpol.
• Moe: Sebastien's jumpy but earnest Naïve Newcomer and Ascended Fanboy personality and excited physical movements make him even more adorable than he is in the first movie.
• Nightmare Fuel:
  • The news correspondent who gets devoured by the zombies in Las Vegas.
  • The Vegas zombie outbreak in the news gives nightmares to Sebastian. In one of them, a zombified little girl jumps at his throat.
• One-Scene Wonder:
  • Dieter's main two opponents in the safecracking contest Gwendoline uses to audition him: Neo (the reigning champion) and Fireball (the red-haired woman with leopard print gloves) make a powerful impression in their one scene for their skills and Neo's Sore Loser moment.
  • Pavel, the Surveillance Station Slacker at the second bank who picks up on signs of the heist despite his initial sloppiness, sounds the alarm and then wounds "action hero" Brad after a fight.
