It was impossible for the weak and superficial so-called critics to not make a parallel between Call Me by Your Name and Ang Lee's Broken Mountain, and with this information, I revealed the first spoiler: it is a movie with a homosexual relationship.

Den of Thieves, a Clever Crime Noir Flick
Den of Thieves is a very entertaining heist movie made recently by Christian Gudergast. A perfect action/crime/drama/thriller one needs to watch twice to be able to connect all the dots.
