But now, with the layered heist-thriller “Widows,” McQueen has made a film that, although not a full-blown crowd-pleaser — it’s a bit too shrewd and stylish to fall under that umbrella — has been roping people in for repeat viewings. A remake of a 1983 British limited series that hooked McQueen when he was 13, “Widows” follows a group of women, led by Viola Davis, carrying out a robbery that their husbands planned but never completed. (The film’s title betrays the reason why.)
