It feels like the "thieves" are meant to be the main characters you sympathise with, but they are the ones getting horribly hurt which gets a bit awkward.
It's rehashing the story beats of the first film while trying to flip who are the good and bad guys. It's trying to be clever. Which leaves the film a bit muddled with who it is aimed at and what kind of story it is trying to tell.
However, it gets a pass because it is a least well made.
