A heist gone wrong....in all the right ways!

After a tiring day at the office, I need to recharge myself so I asked my friends if we could watch a movie. I was really torn between Batman The Dark Knight and The Bank Job but then I asked them if we could watch the latter....guess what, they agreed! weeeee!!!! During the first half hour of the movie, I did get quite bored (hoping my friends wasn't hahaha ) but when the heist gets under way, the movie got back my attention and left me thrilled. The movie directed by Roger Donaldson and starred by Jason Statham (Terry Leather) and Saffron Burrows (Martine Love). It was really a great movie and it gets everything right! I really recommend this movie...definitely worth watching!!! It is really indeed a true story of a heist gone wrong, in all the right ways.

Based on the true story of the 1971 Baker Street bank robbery which was prevented from being told for over thirty years because of a Government gagging order. The real story of how one of the biggest robberies in British history took place with no arrests ever made nor money ever recovered. Written by Mark Thomas

In September 1971, thieves tunneled into the vault of a bank in London's Baker Street and looted safe deposit boxes of cash and jewelry worth over three million pounds. None of it was recovered. Nobody was ever arrested. The robbery made headlines for a few days and then disappeared - the result of a 'D' Notice, gagging the press. This film reveals what was hidden for the first time. The story involves murder, corruption and a sex scandal with links to the Royal Family - a story in which the thieves were the most innocent people involved. Written by The Production
