The Bank Job
In 1971 London, thieves steal millions of pounds worth of jewelry in a case with links to murder, corruption, a sex scandal and the royal family. Inspired by true events. Jason Statham (The Transporter) and Saffron Burrows star.
"You need the right actors to make a movie as intelligent and as engaging as this one is, and [director Roger] Donaldson knows how to make each character in this rather complex ensemble seem whole and distinct." (Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com)
"Watching The Bank Job, you buy the heist, and you also buy the entertaining layer cake of British society -- the black radicals, smut lords, and MI5 agents who treat cops like janitors, all fighting for their piece of the action." (Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly)
"The Bank Job engages us fully with a tale that's well-fashioned more than anything else, a fascinating study of morality at several levels of English society, and of honor, or the lack of it, among implausibly likable thieves." (Joe Morgenstern, Wall St. Journal)
