    Summary: Best movie of 2008 (so far).
    Comment: For an hour and fifty minutes, this movie manages to achieve something no Hollywood product has done all year: sustain a non-stop level of excitement and interest. Very seldom do I purchase a DVD just on the basis of the Amazon.com reviews and recomendations and I'm glad because up to this point of the year (October 13th.), it's the best film I've seen all year. There were even a couple of jokes that I saw a long time coming but made me burst out laughing anyway. That's the kind of movie this is.

    Summary: A Good 'Job' but Lacking Narrative Cohesion
    Comment: A well paced flick with plenty of tense moments and a preponderance of twists, The Bank Job makes for a decent movie experience.

    However, the pacing and twisting can't conceal that the film suffers from a lack of focus, both in narrative and theme. I felt Bank Job couldn't decide whether to be a light-hearted caper like 'Snatch' or a gritty crime drama like 'The Departed'. It attempts to be both and fails to be truly excellent at either.

    The cast of characters grows quite quickly, and we don't have enough time to care about all of them as much as the film needs us to. The central love affair is also lacking. There are many such loose threads in Bank Job which show promise but are watered down and create nothing more than disorder.

    A promising film that entertains but is ultimately forgettable. The special edition has some deleted scenes as extras, but they don't flesh out the movie. Standard DVD includes wide and full screen formats.

    Summary: Grim and gritty
    Comment: Not the usual caper movie. And that's good. Truth is stranger than fiction. The entertainment comes as the dumb threaten the arrogant. The evil punish the careless. And the quick outwit the establishment. A marriage survives. And the details are still out there.

    Summary: Bank Job
    Comment: I basically bought the movie because of Jason Statham, and I wasn't disappointed.
    It is a good movie about a couple of misfits are robbing a bank.
    What I like about the flick is, the setting and the characters portrayed in this film.
    On top, it has this typical British feeling to it, what makes most movies from the island somehow special.

    Summary: Like The Italian Job
    Comment: Flat out funny and smart film. To say anything would spoil the film. The film never stops with the actions and moments that make you snicker.

    Disc 2 is the digital copy, compatible with Windows Media and iTunes. The bonus features on Disc 1 were pretty nice, going into the heist.

    If you liked The Italian Job (old or new), get this film. If you like the Bond films, get this film.
