I did a search but didn't find anything about this one. Anyone else excited about it? Right now it's sitting on 8.2 at IMDB and 80% at RT. How great is the poster for it?

looking forward to this.. have always enjoyed everything statham has been in

The trailer doesn't do much for me. I'll hold out for reviews but at the very least I'll give it a rental. Statham is at the very least entertaining in his movies.

So, among Statham's filmography are: The Italian Job, The Brazilian Job, and The Bank Job. Can't wait to see The Hand Job and its sequel The Blow Job...

Looks good! Thanks for the headsup - I hadn't heard anything about this yet.

I was going to make this thread the other day after watching the trailer on Yahoo. It looks fun to me.

I saw this last week and it was pretty good. Don't go by the trailer which makes it look like any of his other movies. this is more of a drama bank heist gone wrong. The heist is the catalyst for some political/organize crime intrigue due to what they get from the bank. It takes place in the 70s England. It also seems to be based on a real story. Overall I was surprised with it in a good way.

Is it more serious then what's in the trailer? The trailer makes it feel like there's a good amount of humor.

Jaymole

It's been getting very good reviews so far, I might go and check this out.

Cellar Door

I am in love with Saffron Burrows, so I will definitely be checking this out.

Michael Corvin

Ahhh... that explains the retro looking poster.

B.A.

I read a good review over the weekend that piqued my interest.

Artman

Could we actually have a good Statham movie here? I haven't liked anything he's done since Transporter...

edit: scratch that, I did like his supporting roles in Italian Job and Cellular.

GoldenJCJ

I personally like him best as a supporting character. In an odd way I think he has a larger screen presence when he's not starring in the movie.

BuddhaWake

no its a serious film. the trailer doesn't do justice to the film at all. you get a little humor because the guys pulling the heist have been friends since childhood so there is good camaraderie.

BuddhaWake

the poster is great. makes it seem like one of these italian 70s police actioners. when i went to the screening the pass was a postcard/lobby card of the poster and I couldn't comprehend why they would do it that way so you would have to give it back.

At first I thought this was the sequel to "The Italian Job"

Looks good I'll probably check it out. Got 2 big Thumbs Up from Roeper and Michael Phillips.

Great line.

dpz301

saw it at an early showing today. enjoyed it a bunch. thought statham was excellent in the movie and the supporting cast also did a good job. really looked like the '70s too. saffron also looked gorgeous, but what would you expect?

mdc3000

Awesome movie that really has a 70's feel. good performances, strong direction and decent writing...well worth seeing and certainly better than some of the shit movies out right now. 4/5

Finisher

Solid flick. Saffron Burrows is distractingly attractive here. Interesting that Donaldson used Michael Coulter, who usually shoots romantic comedies, as his dp. As a result, The Bank Job doesn't feel or look like most generic action pics; there's a bit more depth here and the aftermath of the heist is rather suspenseful.

The Cow

I liked it, the casting was spot on, humor (some) and action was mixed well. The heist was very well done.

Giles

I agree, I thought it was a rivetting film.

BuddhaWake

glad to see I'm not the only one that enjoyed it

Mercury&Solace

If the movie is as good as the poster is I am in

Geofferson

^ Same here -- love the one-sheet for this.
