"The Bank Job" - 2008 (DIY cinema viewing) - C C - Mar 22, 2026

Currently free on Plex.
British heist movie loosely based on the Baker Street robbery. This account is heavily filled with fictional elements from the conspiracy culture revolving around the burglary. Arguably gives Jason Statham more character balance than his usual tough guy roles in action films. But primarily just the sense that he'd be more mortal if it came to a violent confrontation in this one (which doesn't evaporate until close to the end).
79% rating on RT and a score of 69 on Metacritic.
