The Bank Job
Set in 1971 London and based on a true story, a car-sales garage owner (Jason Statham) is in deep trouble with some vicious bill collectors so he can’t refuse a foolproof bank robbery plan to get himself out of debt. For the big heist, he gathers his good buddies and shady acquaintances with the promise of money and jewels, but they get much more than they bargained for. The story starts to get intense and complicated with dirty secrets involving corruption, blackmail, extortion, a madam, a princess, a spy, a black militant, a sleazy club owner, MI5, and government officials. The amateur robbers find themselves in a squeeze play between opposing factions trying to retrieve their stolen goods. Are the clumsy thieves really smart or just lucky? Do they get caught by the cops or by the criminals or do they get away with the loot? You’ll have to go see this nifty caper to discover if crime pays.
Alien gives it 3 “185 Baker Street” stars out of 4.
