This movie was GREAT from beginning to end. No surprises here - not even 5 minutes into the movie, the plot is laid out and all sorts of characters begin to come out of the woodworks. There is a quirkiness about each of them which is maybe why they are all so likeable - you definitely want to see them succeed in their task. Jason Statham fans will definitely enjoy this film. He's more reserved than usual (no over the top action like in Crank) but he's still a bad ass. There is enough action and suspense to keep the average moviegoer thoroughly entertained. The fact that this is based on true events (especially the way the movie ends) makes it that much more enjoyable.

If you like bank robbery films, then you will probably also like this one. Be aware that the actors have British accents. It gets a little complicated at times with all the players but in the same respect many twists and turns to keep it from being boring. Not necessary to see it at the movies like we did, but worth renting.

This turned out to be good but apparently my husband and I misunderstood the previews as we were expecting a British Ocean's Eleven. Oops, not so much! It was a great movie but much more dramatic and serious than I was expecting. Jason Statham had a lot more depth to his performances than expected and Saffron Burrows was awesome, she really did a fantastic job in this one.

I liked the story line, I expected to hear a lot of the use of the "f" word because of the R rating but I did not expect a soft porn movie.

This movie started off slow - and I didn't know if I was going to like it. But MAN !! It started picking up and WHAT A MOVIE ! I can't believe this actually happened ! EVERYONE was guilty - - the robbers, the cops, the politicians....WOW ! Would have been a "5-star", but like I said - - it was slow for the first 1/2-hour. Two-thumbs up !
