Return of the Great British gangster movie - By: chuckles, 23 Oct 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, & a welcome return after the last few attempts. A couple of dodgy accents, but that's a very small issue. The film isin 2 parts, the first the robbery then as soon as that's done, then the action really kicks in. This film was digitally shot, & that makes it excellent on HD with superb picture & sound.

Take it for what it is - By: C. Bruiners, 14 Jul 2008 The Bank job isn't a bad movie.
Its enjoyable to watch, none of the actors leap outin 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.
Not Lock,Stock or Snatch - By: Brendan O. Clarke, 05 Jul 2008 
Despite a good premise, this poor movie is oddly uninvoling, culminatingin 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 & has since returned to the UK licking her wounds), & 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 & Stathamin turtlenecks & 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.
Cockney caper - By: Brendan O. Clarke, 02 Jul 2008 Despite a good premise, this poor movie is oddly uninvoling, culminatingin a real disappointment. Regarding the actors Statham proves he is a one trick pony; Saffron Burrows cannot act & everybody else is average at best (except for Peter Bowls).
With a poor script by the revered partnership of Dick Clement & 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.
