The Bank Job

The Bank Job is a highly-charged heist thriller based upon the infamous 1971 robbery that took place at the Lloyds Bank in Marylebone London. Starring Jason Statham as Terry, a car dealer with a dodgy past and Saffron Burrows as Martine, the woman with the plan, The Bank Job interweaves corruption, murder and scandel with 1970's England!

When Martine offers Terry a lead on a foolproof bank hit on London's Baker Street, he recognises the opportunity of a lifetime! The plan: to target a roomful of safe deposit boxes worth millions in cash and jewelry. However Terry and his crew don't realise the boxes also contain a treasure trove of dirty secrets - secrets that will thrust them into a deadly web of corruption and illicit scandal that spans London's criminal underworld, the highest echelons of the British government, and the Royal Family itself.

    The Bank Job

    A great, very highly entertaining and slick robbery film, which looked and felt like a right throwback to the 70's type of style, but then it is based around a true story. Lots of twists, turns, and double-crossing by all involved, which brings into play some not too pleasant characters, who you wouldn't want to owe money to...!! lol... One of the best films we have seen in a while.
