The Bank Job

Now I have rented and watched The Bank Job and I wasn’t to impressed overall. How they rob the bank was different then other movies about this topic, it wasn’t the blaze of glories, Dead Presidents Style but a more interesting approach. Now personally I felt the first half was pretty slow to get going for what I thought would be a high action movie.

The action doesn’t really start untill after and not with the law enforcement but other criminal elements of the city. From here the action is still on the low side but shows alot more creativity from the would be small time crook, who took the bank job.

I don’t want to give away the entire plot but if you are looking for a high action movie this isn’t it, but if you are looking for a more creative bank robbery where, it comes down to who can outsmart who this would be worth the $5 rental.

Unfortunately for me I was looking for a high action, shoot em up movie where the guy barely gets away to the life of luxury. So for me this is where my dissapointment came in.

I’ll give it a 6.5/10

    I agree that it wasn’t a fast pace action movie like you’d expect from Jason Statham comparing to movies with him in like transporter, transporter 2 and war. the only action you see from him is like 15 seconds close to the end of the movie. i was disapointed in that regards but overall the movie wasn’t too bad.
