 Return of the Great British gangster movie October 23, 2008
This movie is well written, action packed with a bit of light hearted comedy to keep it from getting too heavy. This movie carries on with the tradition of Lock Stock, and a welcome return after the last few attempts. A couple of dodgy accents, but that's a very small issue. The film is in 2 parts, the first the robbery then as soon as that's done, then the action really kicks in. This film was digitally shot, and that makes it excellent on HD with superb picture and sound.

The Bank job isn't a bad movie.
Its enjoyable to watch, none of the actors leap out in this film, but this is partly because they all played their part well.
If you like Lock Stocks or Snatch, you'll enjoy this movie.

Despite a good premise, this poor movie is oddly uninvoling, culminating in a real disappointment. Regarding the actors Statham proves he is a one trick pony; the stunning Saffron Burrows is still beautiful but untalented (She failed to conquer Hollywood with Deep Blue Sea and has since returned to the UK licking her wounds), and everybody else is average at best (except for Peter Bowls).
Directed by the talented Roger Donaldson (The Recruit, Species, Thirteen Days), this movie's direction is all over the place; argueably Donaldson's worst film to date. This is a messy yarn boasting borderline-absurd levels of 1970s bling and Statham in turtlenecks and stubble. The robbery itself is a good, taut set piece. If we're honest, though, Statham is treading water, this one trick pony is lucky to be still employed as an actor.

Despite a good premise, this poor movie is oddly uninvoling, culminating in a real disappointment. Regarding the actors Statham proves he is a one trick pony; Saffron Burrows cannot act and everybody else is average at best (except for Peter Bowls).
With a poor script by the revered partnership of Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais, The Bank Job tries to dig out the truth behind a genuine Baker Street robbery from September 1971, previously kept hidden behind a government 'D' notice - the stipulation which prevents British newspapers from referring to the activities of MI6 officers.
The Bank Job is watchable...but to some people so was Last of the Summer Wine. I am glad i only paid 1.50 to rent this movie.
