I loved the British setting, the great character actors that aren't seen on US screens all that often. I thought it was paced just right, and kept me on the edge of my chair. I went and put all kinds of Statham movies in my queue. A well done effort!

"The Bank Job" offers a suspenseful, artistic, and surprisingly accurate rendition of the 1971 Baker Street Robbery with Jason Statham in one of his best leading roles since his earlier work with Guy Ritchie. With Roger Donaldson's ("No Way Out") direction and interpretation of the script and a charming cast that presents somewhat of a throwback to more classic gang films, "The Bank Job" has plenty of mystery and conspiracy to keep the viewer entertained throughout and even sparks interest in the history behind the depicted events. The characters that are more interesting than the action around them and the fascinating plot make this a picture well worth watching.

Convoluted story that was sometimes difficult to follow. Unpleasant characters; made it hard to really care what happened in this movie.

I think that this was a true story makes this movie very interesting, but it took a while for all the pieces to come together. Not that that is a bad thing, but there was nothing to keep you interested until the end. It was very slow until about 2/3's the way through - we almost turned it off a couple of times. Glad we didn't because the end was very good, just took a while to get there.

We turned this movie off. If we wanted to rent a cheesy porn movie, we'd rent it. This movie had threesomes, porn, strippers, you name it. We wanted an action movie, not a porn.

This was the worst movie we've encountered in a long time. We couldn't even finish it. A total waste of time. No character build up or didn't even care about and then senseless violent torture/ ...
