The Bank Job (2008)

No prizes for guessing what TBJ's about. The Stath heads up a British crime film that appears to have been made in the 70’s but also manages to feel completely modern. With so much taupe and camel tones on display the entire cast could've just stepped off the set of The Sweeney. It’s based on true events about a cover-up involving the British aristocracy and, obviously, a bank job. It's a quality film that slipped under many people's radar.

3½ artful dodgers out of 5

4 Just to be different and Saffron Burrows is hot out of 5.

He could have just said no when his wife asked if he fucked her.

Nice heist with a political cover-up and some comedic relief. Quite a surprise when I saw it at the dollar theater.
