This British heist movie is intriguing enough but it ultimately falls short. Click for our verdict and tell us what you think. Trailers and photos coming shortly.

I'm confused now, how can a film have 2 star here and 8.2/10 as a user rating on imdb

Most of the contributors to imdb are American and, as I understand it, The Bank Job has done rather well out there. I’d put that down to the novelty factor of a retro London and the audience not being quite as familiar with one-off ITV Sunday night dramas as we are.

What a suprise. Something with Jason Statham in it is rubbish.

He normally makes such excellent films.

I liked Crank and the transporter as throwaway action films.

He does play his normal self cocky self in this, very much of the snatch than the crack (which Chris rated well if I remember correctly), however this suits him, suits his acting skills!

The film was very enjoyable, good and instersting story, wasn't bored once and it made me laugh!

4 stars I would give it, not 2
