The Bank Job

This is based on a true story about a bank robbery that took place in London in the early 70's. It stars the coolest actor out there, Jason Statham, Saffron Burrows as the hot accomplice/mastermind, and a bunch of topless/bottomless chicks, and dudes speaking thick English.

I am a big fan of heist movies. I think they're great. They are usually all the same and run on the same formula and all, but watching the set up and the actual robbery take place is always entertaining for me. In this movie, Transporter and his crew are duped into robbing a bank, while the bitch is actually going in to rob a specific deposit box for the higher ups in London. The contents are questionable materials that can be used in some horrible black mailing and shit. You know, the typical shit you'd find in a safe deposit box.

The robbery was cool because I was legitimately into them pulling it off, and fell for a lot of the near catches. I liked it because it starts off as a harmless heist for all involved, getting their villainous gang of good guys up to the next level of badguy-ship, and it turns into a complete shit show by movies end. I was unsure what to expect going into the movie, but wound up being pleasantly surprised and thoroughly entertained.

If you like movies with tits, pussy, bank robberies, shootings, violent crimes, crooked cops, and of course the Transporter, I'd recommend watching. It isn't life changing by any means, but knowing it is based on a true bank robbery, it is a nice entertaining hour and a half or so.
