See the films the platforms disagree about most →The reformed crew of animal outlaws, now attempting to walk the straight and narrow, are framed for a spectacular crime they didn’t commit. Forced back into the criminal underworld to clear their names, they must use their unique skills to outwit a new, more ruthless gang of villains. This new crew is executing an even more ambitious heist, forcing the former bad guys to prove whether they are truly good at heart or if their old instincts are their greatest strength.
