| The Bank Job is a heist movie that wants to be special, but is right in the middle quality wise. A lot of the caper stuff is entertaining to watch, but you've seen it before. Sometimes it seems clever, then a character does something so stupid it snaps you back into reality. This was based on a true story about the most successful bank robbery in England last century but it comes across as simple routine. Oh, and there is this whole subplot with secret agent women and the porn industry with some cliched Malcom X type drug dealing guy...I don't know. It seemed stupid at the time and looking back on it now it was definitely moronic. The opening credits include 5 women of many races having sex with one guy in some weird orgy and then the words scroll up, "The Bank Job!". By the end you just want all the subplots among subplots to end. Plot/Originality - 40 Acting/Characters - 53 Dialouge/Screenplay - 35 Effects/Camerawork - 60 |
