      Audience Member A very clever and captivating piece. Strong performances help you understand the films layered plot. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Rendita finanziaria e matematica caratterizzano l'inizio di questo lungometraggio australiano che si trasforma in una interessante lotta morale ed etica, che capolvogerà la situazione e si trasformerà in una lauta vendetta del protagonista verso la banca, rea dell'omicidio del padre. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member The best Australian film I have ever seen, The Bank is a tale of corruption, underdogs and, well, a bank. To say more at the juncture would ruin it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member I didn't even finished watching this film... it was so bad. I had a family member recommend this piece of crap to me... The acting was crap, the story was... where the hell is the story?? I couldn't even work out what the hell this was about! Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member It's not the story that is the problem. Its the mind set of "if the cinematography is good the audience won't notice the bad acting"....WRONG! Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Anthony LaPaglia, David Wenham are great actors who deserve better parts. The movie was enjoyable but the ending left me unstatisfied Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Jonathan Rosenbaum Chicago Reader A hokey but highly entertaining tale of corporate greed that should be especially satisfying if you're pissed off at big business. Mar 23, 2010 Full Review Ty Burr Boston Globe It looks to be something less than the sum of its quite interesting parts. Rated: 2.5/4 Jan 31, 2003 Full Review Kevin Thomas Los Angeles Times As it is, the film takes too long to become truly compelling. It could have benefited from a shot of good old Hollywood pizazz. Rated: 2.5/5 Jan 3, 2003 Full Review Caffeinated Clint Moviehole An excellent thriller with two bravura performances Rated: 3/5 Sep 5, 2008 Full Review Doris Toumarkine Film Journal International Connolly has coaxed terrific performances from all his players.
