Synopsis:
In September 1971, thieves tunneled into the vault of a bank in London’s Baker Street and looted safe deposit boxes of cash and jewelry worth millions and millions of pounds. None of it was recovered. Nobody was ever arrested. The robbery made headlines for a few days and then suddenly disappeared - the result of a UK Government ‘D’ Notice, gagging the press. This film reveals what was hidden in those boxes, involving murder, corruption and a sex scandal with links to the Royal Family - a story in which the thieves were the most innocent people involved.

CRITIC REVIEWS
LEW IRWIN
The critics are reserving their loudest applause for The Bank Job, the film least likely to perform well in its opening this weekend. Manohla Dargis in the New York Times calls it a "wham-bam caper flick." Kevin Crust in the Los Angeles Times concludes that while the film "dawdles" at times, the "real fun comes as nearly every genre convention unravels in one clever way or another." Claudia Puig in USA Today enthuses: "Well-paced, smartly told and unpretentious, this solid British heist thriller also has moments of invention and imagination." And Bob Strauss in the Los Angeles Daily News employs British understatement to sum up: "It's quite satisfying."

a somewhat bizarre mix of the comic, brutal, cynical and romantic...but if the existential quality of the movie tends to suggest that no gods are watching, producers were, and they come down solidly on the side of a hard won (and extremely contrived) salvation...meaning i give it a 3 as a thriller.

Good movie. Well acted, action packed and no totally happy ending. An insight into just what goes on in all countries twixt the powerful and the less powerful. Will surprise many and many will see it as so much hokum. Too bad for the hokum believers who will go on believing in free government's holier than now standing.
