Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
It's something new for heist pictures: a movie that can't even rip off its predecessor with any panache.
– Wesley Morris,

fresh:
The Bank Job is nothing more than an efficient time-killer with the added bonus of being based on a real misadventure. But, unlike its benighted cast of characters, it gets the job done without a hitch.
– Peter Rainer,

fresh:
A tight, classic-feeling film about losers banding together for one big score, then scrambling furiously as they realize they're in over their heads. It's fast, nifty, sharp and sweet.
– Tom Long,

fresh:
Thanks to the twin pens of screenwriters Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais, what a jam-packed and misanthropic fiction this is.
– Rick Groen,
Globe and Mail,

fresh:
Longtime screenwriters Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais have woven a masterful narrative full of odd twists and dark humor from which Australian director Roger Donaldson and a prime cast mine plum characters and a tight plot to satisfying effect.
