Confession 1: I have this thing for brit/irish/scottish accents.
Confession 2: I am quite done with standard American movies.
Final confession: The story has to make sense, down to the details.
So I liked the rawness of the movie.
Some shots were very straightforward and direct movie making, though I believe either the censors snipped off some extremely gruesome torture bits, or the director deemed it not an integral part of the plot. It’s definitely not Nip Tuck or CSI.
Then the plot.
You will find reports of the rumours of it being based on true story here and here, but overall the premise is that such a story was quite plausible, and indeed possible.
So there, final verdict – The Bank Job delivers.
