HollywoodChicago.com film critic Patrick McDonald says in his 4.0 out of 5.0 review of the new film “The Bank Job” with Jason Statham:

Done properly, the classic heist or caper film is a welcomed genre of suspense-filled locations, stereotyped experts and the big cash payoff. Based in speculative part on the true story of a robbery in a vital London safety deposit vault, “The Bank Job” adds the spice of political intrigue as an underlying factor to the actual crime.
