3/4
The first half is particularly strong, and while none of the pre-heist team building or preparations are anything we haven't seen many times before these scenes are handled with such dynamic virtuosity they almost feel original and new. Go to Full Review Wesley Morris Boston Globe 03/07/2008

It's something new for heist pictures: a movie that can't even rip off its predecessor with any panache. Go to Full Review Peter Rainer Christian Science Monitor 03/07/2008

The Bank Job is nothing more than an efficient time-killer with the added bonus of being based on a real misadventure. But, unlike its benighted cast of characters, it gets the job done without a hitch. Go to Full Review Sinead Corcoran The Post NZ 06/02/2021

A fascinating look at criminals, their equally corrupt counterparts on the opposite side of the law, and many a gray-area hoodlum. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Thyaagu C @Thyaagu Mar 10 BLAST!! Just wish they had wrapped up the heist part a bit quicker and jumped straight into the delicious blackmail game. With a bit more violent spice and some cinematic liberty even though it's based on true events - the intensity would have shot up, making this an absolute masterpiece. Still loved it. What a ride! See more Daniel L @RT24087858 Nov 4 Good fun. Easy to watch. Highly recommended. See more Calvin T @Calvin504 Aug 24 It's great.......it's just the English accents that make a few things hard to understand See more Gareth v @geewah Aug 21 A smart, suspenseful, and grounded heist film that combines thrills with intrigue, standing out as one of Statham’s best. See more thiago s @Thiagostone Jul 24 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Andy B @AndyB21 Jun 29 It's convoluted, grubby and gritty, and the director is overly fond of his Dutch angles. For all that though, a more intelligent and mature thriller than most Statham fare and certainly one of his better films. See more Read all reviews
