If you love porn you will love this movie. As one member wrote if we wanted a porn flick we would have rented one.

Based on a true story? You must be joking. Ok, let me get this straight, first they discuss the robbery over radios easily picked up by ham operators, then they successfully break into the vault in the cover of night only to take a nap before robbing it? And, these people, fresh from breaking into a bank can just lay down on a cement floor and fall so deeply asleep while the vault lays open and waiting above them, that no one wakes up when two members escape into the vault to have sex? Then, they wait until morning (because they will need their energy) to return to the vault, not even bothering to put on gloves, and slowly go box by box, discussing the contents? I stopped watching at this point, but let me guess... they haul out the goods to the curb by the car and leave it there while they all take another nap because they will need their energy for the big escape? When they awaken the bags will be waiting for them by the car and therefore the escape will be SEAMLESS!! INGENIUS!!!

I did not like this movie at all, Jason Statham has done better movies. I would not waste my time on it. Cheesey movie.

Good story, but some of the gratuitous sex and language were unnecessary....

This movie The Bank Job is based on a true story that happened in 1971 at a London Bank. This movie tells the story of Terry who is played by Jason Statham, a car dealer who becomes involved in a London bank heist. Than he finds out that he and the others with him have been setup, and now they are all in danger, because of what they found inside in the bank vault, and it goes all the way up to the royal family. A very nice movie that will keep you watching till the end.

Jason Statham is obviously typecast to be a villain, but since he does the job so well, how could anyone complain? He pulls off another great heist in The Bank Job. I didn't have any complaints about this flick, and the 1970s cars and clothes were an extra bonus. From the story line (apparently based on fact, even if loosely) to the action to the tension and thrill of almost getting caught, this film hits the mark. If you're a Jason-fan, rent this right away.
