Re: The Bank Job - quick review
I just saw this today and I agree that there isn't more discussion about it. What I liked was how smart it was. It wasn't typical fair from Hollywood. It was taut and the part that was unexpected for me, as I didn't know the details of this true story, was what happened afterwards.
Perhaps part of the problem was what I heard afterwards from my friend, he said there wasn't a car chase. Now he was joking, but I suppose there's a built-in expectation that if Stratham is in a film, it will have a car chase. Or perhaps the darkness of the items found in the vault was the other reason this film is not discussed or has found a wider audience.
The audience I saw it with was smart enough to follow it through and also laughed at the right moments as well as react to the downfall of the bad guys.
