IMDb plot summary: A charming thief and a band of unlikely adventurers embark on an epic quest to retrieve a lost relic, but things go dangerously awry when they run afoul of the wrong people.
Directed by John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein. Starring Chris Pine, Michelle Rodriguez, and Regé-Jean Page.
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is a fantasy story starring Chris Pine and Michelle Rodriguez as two thieves who break out of jail and go back to find Pine's daughter, who was left behind when he was imprisoned. However, they find one of their former colleagues has betrayed them, poisoned the daughter's mind against them, and plans to kill them. So they band together with some other friends to try and take him down. I'm often bored by fantasy stories, but this one works well on the strength of the characters. They are much more creatively written than many bland fantasy tropes, and Chris Pine in particular really sells the relatability of his character. Watching this back-to-back with Paddington 2 was also really fun, watching Hugh Grant in his "villain era." It's funny and smart and a pretty enjoyable ride in a genre I typically don't relate to.
