What makes it different from others?

People are voting emotionally.

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

I enjoy a good heist film so I decided to watch the bank job and its an average heist film. The premise of the film is based on true events that saw a bank robbery in the 70s which involved gangsters, politicians and MI5. I like Jason statham and he is really good in this movie. He is his usual gruff self in this film but you buy it and it really works for the film. However, in a heist film its really important to like the crew and apart from statham I didn't care about anybody else in this film. The crew were boring, the villains were boring and the politicians were boring. The story was a mixed bag for me, I liked the heist elements and thought overall that it worked pretty well. However, the film deals with corrupt cops and African terrorists and I didn't find any of it interesting. The script was incredibly bland except for a bit of well placed humour. The style of the heist was pretty cool but the grit of the film had nothing special about it and you forget about it pretty quickly. Overall this is an average movie that is very forgettable.

British Bank heist movie. The English are good at making these sorts of movies. The use of actors and actresses who are British or English is an asset to the film. Their dialects, lingo colloquial made it authentic and believable. Decent film about events in 70's Britain. I have doubts about truth as a lot of the film seems more about generating atmosphere about what life was like back then. The one problem with this film is does it pass the truth test in the process of making it. A lot was fictionalized to make it a good movie. I for one like the whole drilling under the buildings to get into the bank and the behaviour of the police. Other aspects I find difficult to believe ever happened. Still like it though.

Don't be fooled by 'The Bank Job' having Jason Statham as 'top billing.' If you've seen any of his films in recent years, you may think that this is just another 'kick-ass' kind of mindless film. Luckily, it's much better than that.It's about a gang of London bank robbers who get - unknowingly - recruited by MI5 to break into a bank and steal some photos which mustn't ever be made public. It's 'based on a true story,' by which I mean that there are definitely some facts on display here and the bits that aren't facts have been 'filled in' to make it a better story.However, I wouldn't dwell on how true every aspect is. If you did that you may not enjoy it. True or not, it's a twisty-turny kind of affair where you don't know what's coming next. It's almost like a Guy Richie film without Guy Richie having anything to do with it. Like 'Lock Stock' and 'Snatch' The Bank Job features multiple sets of dodgy characters whose lives are seemingly separate, until they're eventually brought together.The opening segment is a little slow, but stick with it. Whether you just like Guy Richie films, British films, gangster or heist films, there should be something to entertain most people here. Even if you don't like any of those genres, it also makes a damn good thriller, too.I don't know how true the story was, but, as the credits are rolling, even if you don't believe it happened just the way you've witnessed, it's the kind of story that you can't help but feel is quite capable of happening.http://thewrongtreemoviereviews.blogspot.co.uk/
