I was expecting a B version knock-off of Ocean's 11 and The Italian Job. I was very pleasantly surprised. Definitely worth the viddy.
Great movie. Plot twists and everything were good, as well as a great ending. Really have to pay attention to know who the characters are and what their individual deals are. The fact that it's based on a true story is cool as well. Well worth a view or two!
an action movie in a slow speed, based on a true story and really clever done, jason deliver again in his role. truelly wickedly good actor,
A London model is arrested for drugs trafficking by MI5 and blackmailed into arranging the robbery of a Bank vault to reclaim some embarrassing photographs used by a corrupt black activist to obtain immunity. The robbery is successful but the vault also contained incriminating ledgers owned by some serious villains identifying corrupt police officers and more photos that could embarrass high level members of Her Majesty's government leaving the robbers in a very sticky situation. I wish Statham whould stop trying to be the cockney Van-Damme because this is what he is really good at. One criticism you could instantly level at this film is that the plot is so far-fetched, but bizarrely, it's actually a true story. At the beginning, it appears to be a decent if slightly run-of-the-mill heist movie as the usual collection of lovable East End villains plan and execute their scam but it's actually after the event that this film gets really interesting. The tone darkens and as it gets more hard-boiled and grim, the better it gets. The plot is well written and intertwines the several sub plots cleverly and its constantly entertaining. Darker, grittier and above all better than all of the Ocean's films and a great, unpretentious, old-fashioned British crime drama that can stand shoulder to shoulder with the best of them.
huuuuuuuum this film to me just felt like a poor mans oceans film. dont get me wrong it was a decent film jason statham was ok it in as there was a fight scene where he redeamed himself. but the films lacked something for me. but its a decent film worth a watch.
This board looks lonely. Be the first to talk about "The Bank Job" !
