'The Bank Job' is a real story based on the 1971 London vault cleanout on Baker Street. A confusing beginning to the movie sees the introduction of the central characters. However, the movie quickly moves straight to the plot without wasting anytime. The highly-charged heist thriller tightly interweaves high-level corruption, murder and sexual scandal in 1970s England.
Jason Statham stars as a car-dealer, Terry ,who recognises the opportunity of a lifetime when an old friend of his, Martine (Saffron Burrows), offers him a job to rob the Lloyd's Bank on London's Baker Street. The plan targeted a room with safe deposit boxes worth millions. What Terry and his crew don't realise is that some boxes also contained a collection of dirty secrets which would thrust them into the world of corruption and scandals which involved the Royal Family itself!!!
The movie is a serious thriller which keeps you on the edge of your seat at all times. It's about 2 hours long. If you are going to watch it be prepared for a lot of vulgarity. The movie is brilliantly directed and hats off to the actors. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this movie and I highly recommend it.
