Terry (Jason Statham) is a car dealer who just wants to put his old crooked life behind him and start all over with a new family. However, when Martine (Saffron Burrows) offers him the job of a lifetime — robbing a bank on London's famous Baker Street — Terry can't resist. After breaking into the bank and stealing cash and jewelry from dozens of safety deposit boxes, only then does Terry find out what he's really being used to steal: sexy photos taken of a royal family member. Based on a true story.
THE BANK JOB is the first really good movie of 2008. As a new release last weekend, it was disappointing to see that it only had the 5th highest gross of the week. It received good reviews for its slick storyline and good performances. Jason Statham has been around now for a decade. A poor-man's Bruce Willis, he is very entertaining to watch. Below, I have his top 5 films. THE BANK JOB is directed by Roger Donaldson...he is a real pro that never gets mentioned as one of this generations great directors. His top 5 directorial efforts are below. THE BANK JOB gets an "8".
