Movie Reviews of The Bank Job
Movie Review: A very good heist movie
Summary: 4 Stars
The fun thing about this movie is that it isn't a prototypical heist movie. The heist was pulled off by a bunch of low lifes who basically lucked out. There was planning, but there wasn't a mastermind planning every detail. They followed their plan, but in the end they were very lucky. Everybody (the police and bad guys) was just sort of blundering around just like real life.
Jason Statham is very good, but the movie isn't particularly about him. It is a good ensemble caste. The writing, the pacing and filming is all good. The nudity surprises me, but it does set up the rest of the plot. Another neat thing is the the twist is the bank heist team gets into hot water, not only with the cops, but with dirty cops, the government, and some really bad guys in a pornography ring. The movie keeps me at the edge of my seat for most of the time.
In summary, the movie was just plain fun.
Movie Review: Good from Start to Finish
Summary: 4 Stars
Too many movies these days start off strong then falter in the middle and end up poorly. Not so with the Bank Job. This is an entertaining, well crafted, well acted movie from start to finish. When it was over all I could think of was "that was a great movie". Another enjoyable facet of this movie was the recreation of the early 1970's, with all of the great English cars around at that time. I spotted my old 1970 Rover 3500s, so I knew they were getting the cars right, as well as the clothes, and what London looked like then. All of the actors were very accomplished, but as the producer said, when you're filming in England, you have an abundance of acting talent to choose from, and they did. Oh, and did I mention this movie was also funny! This movie succeeds on all levels and is worthy of the critical acclaim it has received.Movie Review: Suspenseful Bank Robbery Movie
Summary: 4 Stars
There are many bank robbery movies out there that are fun to watch. This one may be a bit more interesting just because it is based off a true story. Bank Job was a good movie to watch though not necessarily one of the most entertaining movies I have scene. Part of the drawback probably is that the movie is based on actual events so crazy things aren't as apt to happen.
The movie was enjoyable and the cast of relatively no namers was solid. I had higher expectations based of other reviews and may have been let down a bit but it was still very fun and entertaining to watch.
Movie Review: ONE OF THE BETTER BJ'S I'VE ENCOUNTERED! ;-b
Summary: 4 Stars
I like bank job(BJ's)films! Especially when they're done right. 'The Bank Job' offers us something a little different than the over blown versions in cinema these days. The film is set in the 70' which helps to make this less complicated than newer films with the same premise. No high tech devices, just guys with shovels etc. There were a few problems with this film, which did border on ridiculous(taking a nap in the middle of a BJ!??), but overall this was a really entertaining ride and reminded me of a film made in the 70's because it wasn't so outrageous to spoil the fun.Movie Review: good movie
Summary: 4 Stars
When a group a petty criminals are convinced to tunnel into the vault of an obscure bank branch, they have no idea what they are in for. What they find in the safety deposit boxes will lead to murder, blackmail, and an international man hunt. The aftermath of the robbery made me think of the airport heist in the movie Goodfellas.
At first the movie seems a little weird and disjointed but stick with it, these seemingly disjointed storylines weave together to make a good, fast, entertaining flick.
