The Bank Job (2008). It was nice to see Jason Statham get a chance to prove that he can act without the requisite action scenes to bolster his qualities. This was a top notch caper flick. Although it started a little slow, once it got going the pacing was perfect. With little initial action, the story-telling was enough to keep the viewer more than interested; there was sufficient character development to get the viewer to care about the characters. As usual with British caper flicks, this was nicely convoluted such that the characters were all nicely intertwined. Acting was strong, direction was fine, lubba lubba lubba. Overall a great crime drama. AShe.
