Making use of a gift card we received for Christmas, Leah and I hit the theatre this weekend to see “The Bank Job”.
The 60s, London fashion, corrupt cops, good guys disguised as bad guys and the appearance of a double cross or two kept my attention for the full two hours. Based on a true story the film starts slow (aside from the naked swimmer) but builds to a fun finish. Jason Statham reclaims much of his character “Turkish” from Snatch – which is all right with me – but turns up the goo-guy side a bit.
The fact that the movie is based on a true story makes it even more unbelievable… if that’s possible. The collection of events that take place is astounding, and at times a bit far fetched, but nevertheless it all works to create an enjoyable film.
and it has a band called The Storys in it. Seen them live twice and they’re very good.
