THE BANK JOB
well the people on the other side of the pond bring us this “based on actual events” film about a group of friends who get hired to rob a bank. this is one of the 6 degrees of separation movies where everyone is some how tied to one another in some way.
The movie takes place in 1971 and immediately opens with a soft 3-some scene out in the beach/hotel room. We fast forward to 1971 and Micheal X (not Malcolm) along with other london criminals are getting to the politicians and well they are getting to each other as well but MX has dirt on the royal family and well it just so happens that he has that dirt in a safety deposit box in a bank vault and Jason Statham and Co must break in and rob the place but have no idea any of this is going on.
theres a lot of tits in the movie and well not much action i think theres only one fight scene the entire movie and though it moves at a good pace i just didnt get excited at all. I paid for my seat and used all of it. It wasnt boring just not exciting. its like mieh. not good not bad. the story is based of off true events and im sure it was much more exciting in person. this just didnt come off as a bank robbery movie like a heist film. its more like a movie like “oh man i need to help you pay off a mob debt, lets go rob some shit” kinda like “Gone in 60 seconds” kinda of a deal. i dont know it didnt do me any good to see it.
ill “stay away not today disco lady”
rent it or wait for the cable version.
