THE BANK JOB

THE BANK JOB WORTH A MIL
If Ocean's Eleven had a baby with the Italian Job, you would get this film. Basically it's the fight between the small time crooks outwitting, or not outwitting the higher ups. A little hard to follow because there are only two "leads" that, at least, I knew of. There were two things I liked about this script, because we've all seen this story a million times over. I liked how the main character, Terry Leather (Jason Statham) is married with children. I didn't like the risks he took with them, that was unbelievable, but I do like how he is a different kind of thief. The second part is how the movie seems more realistic than most. There are no high-speed chase scenes or shoot outs; but there is definitely a price to pay and it is difficult to watch the payment. It's not a great film by any means, but a solid story nonetheless.
PICK: Super job from all actors and interesting plot twists.
