3/4
The first half is particularly strong, and while none of the pre-heist team building or preparations are anything we haven't seen many times before these scenes are handled with such dynamic virtuosity they almost feel original and new. Go to Full Review Wesley Morris Boston Globe 03/07/2008

It's something new for heist pictures: a movie that can't even rip off its predecessor with any panache. Go to Full Review Peter Rainer Christian Science Monitor 03/07/2008

The Bank Job is nothing more than an efficient time-killer with the added bonus of being based on a real misadventure. But, unlike its benighted cast of characters, it gets the job done without a hitch. Go to Full Review Sinead Corcoran The Post NZ 06/02/2021

...it's difficult, for the most part, not to get drawn into the progressively over-the-top twists and turns contained within. Go to Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins 11/28/2020

A fascinating look at criminals, their equally corrupt counterparts on the opposite side of the law, and many a gray-area hoodlum. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Daniel L Nov 4 Good fun. Easy to watch. Highly recommended. See more Calvin T @Calvin504 Aug 24 It's great.......it's just the English accents that make a few things hard to understand See more Gareth v @geewah Aug 21 A smart, suspenseful, and grounded heist film that combines thrills with intrigue, standing out as one of Statham’s best. See more thiago s @Thiagostone Jul 24 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Andy B @AndyB21 Jun 29 It's convoluted, grubby and gritty, and the director is overly fond of his Dutch angles. For all that though, a more intelligent and mature thriller than most Statham fare and certainly one of his better films. See more Thom 01/08/2025 Plots ans acting werent that good. Looking on my watch... shot of a clock... train drives off.. tense music.. and there from around the corner the guy comes. But still fun. See more Read all reviews
