The Bank Job (2008)
description written by member Zara:
"The Bank Job" was inspired by a real-life 1971 London bank robbery that was never solved. A band of thieves tunneled their way into a safe deposit vault, taking millions of dollars in cash and jewelry. The robbery made headlines for several days, but then all reporting stopped as a result of a government gag order. In "Bank Job," the crime involves murder, corruption and a sex scandal with links to the royal family. Ultimately, the thieves are among the most innocent involved.

Why isn't Jason Statham a star yet? I mean a BIG star, not one who always seems on the verge of striking it big in Hollywood. Statham may not be a great actor, but he is certainly not a bad one either. He holds the screen with his strong charisma, and he doesn't need to prove to us that he is as tough as he is. Problem is...

'The Bank Job' is assembled much like any other heist movie you have ever seen, but is thrilling and fast-paced, with a somewhat indulgent, complicated plot that at least never becomes incomprehensible; one can follow all of its many developments with relative ease. It is based on a true story, a real 1971 robbery in...
