The Bank Job

“One of the pleasures of The Bank Job is that it returns us to the days when robbing a bank was a gritty, hole-in-the-wall affair.”

Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly · 91

“The gritty heist picture The Bank Job has everything adult action fans could want, starting with a grand, fact-inspired gimmick.”

Michael Sragow, Baltimore Sun · 91

“Entertaining and subtle at once, it doesn't just dazzle us with the hows and whys of a particularly wily brand of thievery; it transports us to a specific time and place that often seems to fall between significant eras. The Bank Job is set in a country that's in transition, an extended metaphor for the way its characters are in transition, too.”

“Dull title for a juicy, fact-based caper movie that's full of surprises I have no intention of spoiling.”

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone · 75

“A heist movie in the classic tradition - it details every aspect of the caper, from its genesis to its aftermath. The fact that there's political intrigue and espionage swirling around the edges only makes it more fascinating.”
