No one can hear me scream

I can’t remember ever being disappointed by a heist movie. The formula is so simple, how could anyone mess it up? The Bank Job is no exception:

  • Planning.
  • Execution.
  • Aftermath (possibly with more executions, tee-hee).

The Bank Job joins my list of entertaining heist movies:

  • Inside Man
  • The Italian Job
  • Heat
  • Snatch
  • Ocean’s 11

The Bank Job is different from some of the rest in that some rather bad things happen to some decent people (most bank heist movies don’t really involve people getting hurt).
