Majikat Wow! Based on the 1971 Baker Street bank robbery, the high profile contents with royal connections make this film, not just an ordinary bank robbery!I much prefer Jason Statham in his earlier British roles, before the action man stays appeared and a great cast to go along side. Attracting attention from every corner, this is a great British film that I recommend to see

Joe Harvey this film is boring and Tilly made us watch it, i want to be a crusader and go to the holy lands. this film is boring and Tilly made us watch it, i want to be a crusader and go to the holy lands. this film is boring and Tilly made us watch it, i want to be a crusader and go to the holy lands. this film is boring and Tilly made us watch it, i want to be a crusader and go to the holy lands. this film is boring and Tilly made us watch it, i want to be a crusader and go to the holy lands.

ianlouisiana By 1971 nobody gave two hoots about who Princess Margaret had sex with. If she'd spent as much time underneath various ne'er - do - wells as had been alleged,the poor old dear could hardly have come up for breath. She slept with the well - endowed John Bindon?Roddy Lewellyn,Peter Sellers..Mustique should have been ankle - deep in condoms...... The preposterous idea that "The Establishment"(what a splendid catch - all term that is) should encourage a team of frankly not overly - bright London crims to do a safety deposit vault in order to get photos of Royal/Commoner action is the wellspring behind this creaky "thriller"that is thirty years beyond it's sell - by date. The simple fact is that if the Security Services wanted to suppress the photos they simply had to serve a "D" notice on the Bank's Governors and walk out with them. All sorts of rumours were prevalent at the time about the real "Baker St. Moles",many set about by themselves. The self styled Michael "X" was a pimp and a violent criminal hiding behind the skirts of his community whilst presenting himself as it's saviour. He was later hanged in Jamaica where his ethnicity was not considered consequential. Without the silly Royal connection,"The Bank Job" must stand on its merits as a "Caper"movie but singularly fails to do so. The usual Brits turn up and do their posh or mockney turns,trouser the cash and go onto better things(or not,as the case may be). Mr Suchet gives a Michael Caine impersonation that entertains for about two minutes but unfortunately lasts rather longer. The Met scarcely covered itself in glory during the Baker St investigation and certain officers were quietly "resigned" in the aftermath of the affair - that much is true,but no real - life villains were "disappeared" or found hanging from Blackfriars Bridge or wherever a favourite subject for conspiracy theorists. The fact of the matter is that it was a crime that read better than it actually turned out. And,in "The Bank Job",it didn't even read that well.

slightlymad22 The Bank Job maybe Jason Statham's best movie (excluding his role in the first Expendables movie) I really enjoyed it it is not your usual Statham movie. Plot In A Paragraph: Based on a true story Martine (Saffron Burrows) offers Terry (Statham) a tip on a foolproof bank job on London's Baker Street branch of Lloyds bank. She targets a roomful of safe deposit boxes worth millions in cash and jewellery. But Terry and his crew don't realise the boxes also contain a lot of dirty secrets - secrets that will endanger the lives of everyone involved. It does get bogged down with too many subplots in its short running time and there are some awful attempt to cockney accents. However these are only a minor flaws in an entertaining movie.In its edition of February 16, 2008 The Daily Mail newspaper reported "The four men caught, charged and convicted of the raid went to jail without ever having their names mentioned in the press, and to this day their identities and the circumstances of their capture remain secret. Even the lengths of their sentences are still shrouded in mystery."
