Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Disney The Bank Job (Blu-ray) A small-time crook takeson a bank heist when an old friend offers him an inside track to the vault. 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.

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

- The best caper film I've seen in years
Everybody enjoys a good heist flick, and this one is much better than most. Based on the true story of the 1971 robbery of a bank in London's Baker Street, it involves a group of small-time crooks who use ingenuity and imagination to make their big score by tunneling under the bank's vault. And this one turned out to be bigger even than the Great Train Robbery. Terry Leather, whose used car business is slightly bent, is recruited by a woman with whom he used to be involved -- who was strong-armed ... Read More

- 4 1/2! Great movie
"The Bank Job", directed by Roger Donaldson

London, 1971; Terry Leather (Jason Statham) is a small time crook running a car lot and struggling to keep up with payments owed to a local loan shark. Terry needs something to push him over the thresh hold so he can secure the financial future of his wife and kids. Apparently timing is everything as an old acquaintance of his, Martine Love (Saffron Burrows) approaches him with an offer. It turns out that she has somehow managed to get some ... Read More

- Best movie of 2008 (so far).
For an hour and fifty minutes, this movie manages to achieve something no Hollywood product has done all year: sustain a non-stop level of excitement and interest. Very seldom do I purchase a DVD just on the basis of the Amazon.com reviews and recomendations and I'm glad because up to this point of the year (October 13th.), it's the best film I've seen all year. There were even a couple of jokes that I saw a long time coming but made me burst out laughing anyway. That's the kind of movie this is.

Rating:

- A Good 'Job' but Lacking Narrative Cohesion
A well paced flick with plenty of tense moments and a preponderance of twists, The Bank Job makes for a decent movie experience.

However, the pacing and twisting can't conceal that the film suffers from a lack of focus, both in narrative and theme. I felt Bank Job couldn't decide whether to be a light-hearted caper like 'Snatch' or a gritty crime drama like 'The Departed'. It attempts to be both and fails to be truly excellent at either.

The cast of characters grows quite ... Read More

Rating:

- Grim and gritty
Not the usual caper movie. And that's good. Truth is stranger than fiction. The entertainment comes as the dumb threaten the arrogant. The evil punish the careless. And the quick outwit the establishment. A marriage survives. And the details are still out there.
