Pull a job, any job

Roger Donaldson's The Bank Job provides top notch crime thrills in the heist genre while flushing out the plot with purported "new evidence" about an actual UK bank robbery from the early 1970s known as the walkie talkie robbery. If you are familiar with names like Princess Margaret or Michael X you may know some of the story, and if not the movie compels regardless. The Bank Job stars Jason Statham and Saffron Burrows in roles that allow them to shine rather than languish as second leads or in Stratham's case a B-Movie action guy. Here Stratham carries enough of the movie with a combo of charm and brute force that he can hardly just be referred to as the Transporter guy.
Not unlike the electronic surveillance of The Anderson Tapes the film goes back and forth between the robbery in progress, the branch of government skullduggery that set up the robbery to cover up another covert action, and the police listening to radio transmissions of the break-in on a ham set trying to locate the actual bank that's being robbed. Further complication arise when the robbers make off with the contents of hundreds of safe deposit boxes and raise the wrath of a porno king whose records of corruption payments are among the loot. Meanwhile the British government declares a ban on all news about the getaway declaring the facts will reveal national secrets.
The Bank Job is a conspiracy inside a caper wrapped around a delicious evocation of 70s filmmaking.
