Editorial Reviews

Product Description
A cheerful, energetic, and completely entertaining movie, The Bank Job follows some small-time hoods who think they've lucked into a big-time opportunity when they learn a bank's security system will be temporarily suspended--little suspecting that they're being manipulated by government agents for their own ends. The result is that the movie doubles its pleasures: While the robbery itself has the usual suspense of a heist film, when the robbery is over the hoods find themselves being hunted by the police, the government, and brutal criminal kingpins who were storing dangerous information in a safety deposit box. The Bank Job won't win any awards, but it's enormously fun. Director Roger Donaldson (No Way Out, Species) propels the action along with vigor, editing zippily with perfect clarity among multiple storylines and various colorful characters. Jason Statham (Snatch, The Transporter), as the leader of the bank robbers, successfully steps away from his usual bone-crunching roles to a more human presence. The rest of the cast--including Saffron Burrows (Deep Blue Sea), Keeley Hawes (Tipping the Velvet), David Suchet (Poirot), and many faces familiar from British film and television--give their characters the right degree of personality and flavor without getting fussy or detracting from the headlong rush of the story. A little sex, a lot of action, a sly sense of humor, and a twisty plot; if more movies had these basic pleasures, the world would be a happier place. --Bret Fetzer

1.0 out of 5 stars The Bank Job - Score, January 19, 2009

By	Ronald "Vollmilch" (Germany) - See all my reviews

Oh my Dear,
in which world do we live! The customer of Film Scores must be a stupid collector. He will not get a quality product for his money. No he will get a CD-R for 14$. The next time no CD from Lionsgate. At last the music from J. Peter Robinson is great.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Music For A Tip-Top Film, August 26, 2008

By	john robinson "film buff" (Los Angeles) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Instead of using boringly ubiquitous songs from the period the director instead moved the story along about bank robbers with a difference by using a compelling and evocative music score. This CD is well produced and immediately brings back the feeling of the excitement I felt from watching the film.
