The movie also has an expected cameo in it. The team behind the camera includes writers and directors from movies like “Game Night” (funny movie if you haven’t checked it out - Jesse Plemons steals the show) and “Vacation” so you know you are in for a good time with this one. Regé-Jean Page also has some pretty great scenes and laughs in the movie too. They bring a great balance of action and comedy to the film. Chris Pine, Michelle Rodriguez are fantastic in this movie. This film is just right at just over 2 hours in running time (2 hours and 15 minutes). It was a big sigh of relief for me because with few recent exceptions (“The Last of Us”, “The Witcher”, “Halo”, “Sonic the Hedgehog”, “Sonic the Hedgehog 2”, “Angry Birds 2) there have unfortunately been so many bad game adaptations (the cult-classically awful 1993 “Super Mario Bros.” with Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo, the 2005 film “Doom” and every adaptation of “Resident Evil” to date). “Honor Among Thieves” is definitely one of these movies. You know you have a smashing hit when the die-hards, the uninitiated, and the critics all are shouting their praises for a movie. That piqued my curiosity and I went to check this one out in the theaters. The result is one of those great experiences where expectations are low and then the reviews come out saying it is one of the most entertaining films of the year. Then the reviews for this film came out after it’s premiere at the South by Southwest festival. I went into the film knowing very little about the world of DnD other than it has been around for many years and has a very enthusiastic following. I wasn’t sure if I was going to enjoy the film adaptation of “Dungeons & Dragons” (full movie title “Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves).
