Featured Reviews

ReelViews (James Berardinelli)

The Bank Job is a heist movie in the classic tradition - it details every aspect of the caper, from its genesis to its aftermath. The fact that there's political intrigue and espionage swirling around the edges only makes it more fascinating. ...read the complete Bank Job movie review at ReelViews (James Berardinelli)

Rolling Stone (Peter Travers)

Dull title for a juicy, fact-based caper movie that's full of surprises I have no intention of spoiling. I'll say this. In 1971, a robbery took place at Lloyds Bank in London that involved a royal sex scandal. ...read the complete Bank Job movie review at Rolling Stone (Peter Travers)

About.com Hollywood Movies (Rebecca Murray)

The Bank Job starts off a bit choppy with the confusing introduction of its central characters, but quickly tightens up and becomes a thoroughly entertaining caper film with Jason Statham (Transporter, Crank) in the lead. A story so intriguing and...read the complete Bank Job, The (2008) review at About.com Hollywood Movies (Rebecca Murray)

If you're looking for a lightweight, entertaining crime thriller, The Bank Job may well suit you down to a tee, but if you're looking for a political thriller or for a sophisticated look at corruption in the British establishment, you're going to be...read the complete Bank Job, The (2008) review at Eye for Film (Jennie Kermode)
