Veteran British director Roger Donaldson delivers a solid heist thriller in the aptly titled THE BANK JOB. Jason Statham's terse tough guy persona fits the movie's hardboiled style like a glove. Saffron Burrows is a sexy femme fatale and Statham's old flame who approaches him for a daring bank robbery. Based off a true story too.

Another version of The Bank Job. Well-made, intelligent. A lot of bungling and missteps by the bank robbers. The bank they rob has safe deposit boxes of the underworld and others who don't want the contents of their boxes revealed (including the royal family). MI5 and 6, plus bad guys make it hot for our bank robbers, who've stolen the box contents along with money and jewels.

An energetic, labyrinthian caper comprised with enough plot twists, cliches and suspense to recommend to heist fans who know what they're going to get. Final Grade: B

A goo heist film that is a bit more complicated then some. I like the fact that it is hardly about just the bank robbery and that it is actually complex story. I do not know the exact amount of accuracy but I like the fact that it is based on a true story. The addition of the government story really adds to the whole think and makes it much better and a lot less simple.

I went to the movies thinking this was a new Guy Richie flick. It isn't. But I wasn't disappointed: the filming style and plot structures are similiar. There was one fight scene that was a bit silly and out of place in the rest of the flick, but Statham probably had it in his contract that he had to kick someone.

Pretty freaking cool. I love heist movies and this is a good one. Jason Statham was good like usual and the story was solid. Check it out.

it had an interesting plot and plenty twist. Nothing too unexpected. And nothing that would make you cuff your hand over your eyes. I'm not a big fan of movies with multiple sex scenes and blackmail but this one i kinda enjoyed. It was ok

The truth really is stranger than fiction! It's unbelievable that the comedy of errors depicted in "The Bank Job" opened a huge can of worms for England. I wasn't familiar with the true story, so I felt like I was learning something, while being entertained (even though it started off on a very slow foot). "The Bank Job" is an odd combination of genres, sometimes threatening to be a comedy, yet ultimately becoming quite violent. It's not fantastic, but it's worth seeing.
