        not bad, just very unimpressive

        The Bank Job is a British crime drama that's based on the true story of the infamous Baker Street Robbery. A team of criminals are manipulated by MI5 to rob a bank's safety deposit boxes in order to have them unwittingly retrieve illicit photos of a British Royal, but when it's discovered what they've stolen the team becomes the target of several powerful politicians and gangsters. Starring Jason Statham and Saffron Burrows, the film has an interesting cast that handles the material fairly well. However, the writing is rather poor and doesn't really develop the characters or add that much tension to the plot. In a lot of ways The Bank Job is a typical heist film, but it still kind of works as an entertaining piece of historical fiction.

        There is a reason why Jason Statham has emerged as such a popular action star. He not only is good with punches and weapons but also has a vulnerability to his acting style that makes him compelling in a way that a Stallone can't pull off. This is wonderfully put together by the cast.
