| | Customer Reviews: so close to five stars! (17 November 2008)This was a brilliant film. Totally fantastic. I cannot fault anything about it except.... that whilst the first half of the movie was action packed, funny, and sexy, the second half seemed to loose some of this excitement. It carried on being very good but I was much more on the ball with the first half. I cannot actually believe this was based on a true story. How amazing that they got so far and no one was any the wiser! Enjoyable (04 November 2008)This is a decent caper from the early 70's based on a true story but how much so is anyone's guess. It does depict London at that time as coming to terms with the increasingly glamourous underworld yet still bound by the chains of the establishment. Written by Ian La Frenais & Dick Clement (of Only Fools & Horses fame) it perhaps could have had a sharper dialogue however, it does have enough twists & turns to keep you interested throughout. Jason Statham & the rest of the cast put in good performances although the locations do look a little stilted & economy budget. The final credits tie up loose ends nicely & all in all it's a pleasant way to spend a couple of hours. great story (28 October 2008)The Bank Job works for several reasons; 1 - the good ol fashion British humour and wit 2 - the fact it is based on a true story 3 - the sheer joy in seeing the powers that be of the world being outplayed at their own game As I said, based on a true story the movie revolves around the robbery of a branch of Lloyds in the early 70's. There are many reasons a movie was made of this particular heist but prob the most was the fact it was set in motion by the secret service! Needless to say things didn't quite go as planned and the robbers ended up with a lot more than they bargained for with the cops after them for the actual crime, the service after them for the contents of one lockbox and the mob for the contents of that and other boxes! A very entertaining movie of an event some people may remember. Return of the Great British gangster movie (23 October 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. The fact that it's based on a true story makes it even better. Good entertainment Saffron Burrows (15 September 2008)The Bank Job is so so as entertainment, but the most fun/pain can be had by watching the cringeworthy Saffron Burrows inexplicably given another film role to demonstrate how she is probably the worst British actress of all time. |
