Along with his hastily assembled team of low-rung criminals Terry (Statham) finds himself deep into this real-life heist and quite suddenly the target of ruthless mobsters the police government officials at the highest level and even the royal family.System Requirements:Running Time: 110 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: ACTION/ADVENTURE/THRILLERS Rating: R UPC: 031398236092 Manufacturer No: 23609 Amazon.com: A cheerful, energetic, and completely entertaining movie, The Bank Job follows some small-time hoods who think they've lucked into a big-time opportunity when they learn a bank's security system will be temporarily suspended--little suspecting that they're being manipulated by government agents for their own ends. The result is that the movie doubles its pleasures: While the robbery itself has the usual suspense of a heist film, when the robbery is over the hoods find themselves being hunted by the police, the government, and brutal criminal kingpins who were storing dangerous information in a safety deposit box. The Bank Job won't win any awards, but it's enormously fun. Director Roger Donaldson (No Way Out, Species) propels the action along with vigor, editing zippily with perfect clarity among multiple storylines and various colorful characters. Jason Statham (Snatch, The Transporter), as the leader of the bank robbers, successfully steps away from his usual bone-crunching roles to a more human presence. The rest of the cast--including Saffron Burrows (Deep Blue Sea), Keeley Hawes (Tipping the Velvet), David Suchet (Poirot), and many faces familiar from British film and television--give their characters the right degree of personality and flavor without getting fussy or detracting from the headlong rush of the story. A little sex, a lot of action, a sly sense of humor, and a twisty plot; if more movies had these basic pleasures, the world would be a happier place. --Bret Fetzer Stills from Bank Job (click for larger image)

Rating: - Pretty Good FlickJason Statham and Saffron Burrows definitely make the movie. A great heist movie wherein you want the crooks to get over, mostly because of their savvy and vulnerability. The movie has a great plot and some surprises. It can be a little bloody toward the end, but without that, it wouldn't be as substantive. Recommended. Rating: - First Rate Heist Flick"The Bank Job" is an adrenaline rush from start to finish. Generally these type of films don't work for me because the capers themselves aren't really that interesting. This film, however, brought to my mind such classics of the genre as John Huston's "The Asphalt Jungle" and Stanley Kubrick's "The Killing". I think the reason for that is the aftermath of the heist is the most interesting aspect of the film where interested parties other than the police, such as the underworld and the Crown, try ...

The fact that it was based on a true story added to the heist being an intense one. If your attention started to lag (it did not) Saffron Burrows was there to pick it up. If you like Statham, buy it. If you don't, rent it. Definitely worth your time. |
