Product Description

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

Bank Job October 10, 2008
Thomas Rikert (Germany)
I basically bought the movie because of Jason Statham, and I wasn't disappointed.
It is a good movie about a couple of misfits are robbing a bank.
What I like about the flick is, the setting and the characters portrayed in this film.
On top, it has this typical British feeling to it, what makes most movies from the island somehow special.
Snatch (Widescreen Edition)
 Like The Italian Job October 9, 2008
Scott Weigand (Doylestown, PA)
Flat out funny and smart film. To say anything would spoil the film. The film never stops with the actions and moments that make you snicker.
Disc 2 is the digital copy, compatible with Windows Media and iTunes. The bonus features on Disc 1 were pretty nice, going into the heist.
If you liked The Italian Job (old or new), get this film. If you like the Bond films, get this film.
Not a bad movie, Jason Statham makes the movie October 5, 2008
AOL (Leavenworth, KS United States)
A pretty good movie with some decent acting. Saffron plays a straight laced British lady with a double (or is it triple) side. It's amazing that the story is even true. Regardless, definitely worth a see.
Good buy. October 1, 2008
Hedchekr (Santa Maria CA, USA)
This movie was a blind buy for me. It is a really good movie that is well written and has excellent pacing. Everybody puts in a good performance, and since it is based off of actual events it is not over the top like Statham flicks have been as of late. Very well done.
Tha Bank Job, terrific movie September 30, 2008
G. A. Miller (Auckland, New Zealand)
The Bank Job
Wonderful movie, still on at the box office in New Zealand when received. True to the description of suspense, intrigue and a true story.
Very well directed and a great cast.
Great service from Amazon, here within 7 days and at a very reasonable cost.
Well done Amazon
