King of Thieves: 14 September: The James Marsh creation King of Thieves is coming to Irish cinemas this Friday. Based on a true story, this film reminisces on 1960s London, where a gang of hardened criminals specialise in stealing diamonds. Times have changed, though, as the once-wealthy crime lords now depend on public services and generosity. When approached by an introverted electrician with an idea to lift millions of flawless diamonds locked in the vault of a London jeweller, the gang can’t resist a score that will set them up for the rest of their lives.
