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

 I would rent it first. August 29, 2008
Jonathan
Interesting story but I personally feel like it could have been made better. The trailor is a lot better then the movie. Probably my least favorite Jason Statham film.

D. H. Langlois (Lindenhurst IL)
I did like the movie. I have trouble with the British accents sometimes. Good acting.
 Excellent ! August 26, 2008
C. Brigden (Minot, ND)
This movie was really good! Lots of action, mystery and a part of history that was interesting to learn about. I understand, not everything in the movie was acurate but it was BASED around a real story - and that works for me. It was a R-rated movie for a reason(violence and sex). I was on the edge of my seat!
great movie August 26, 2008
D. Smith (Bethel, CT)
If like most tradtional action movies, this would be good one to get. I do not care for many action films, anymore but this one is pretty good. worth the 16 dollars or so. But if wait couple of months, bet you can get for 10 dollars in no time.
Good from Start to Finish August 24, 2008
Zman (Lafayette, Ca United States)
Too many movies these days start off strong then falter in the middle and end up poorly. Not so with the Bank Job. This is an entertaining, well crafted, well acted movie from start to finish. When it was over all I could think of was "that was a great movie". Another enjoyable facet of this movie was the recreation of the early 1970's, with all of the great English cars around at that time. I spotted my old 1970 Rover 3500s, so I knew they were getting the cars right, as well as the clothes, and what London looked like then. All of the actors were very accomplished, but as the producer said, when you're filming in England, you have an abundance of acting talent to choose from, and they did. Oh, and did I mention this movie was also funny! This movie succeeds on all levels and is worthy of the critical acclaim it has received.
