I wasn't familiar with the Baker Street robbery that took place in London in the early '70s and provides the source material for this British picture. The "Bank Job" has a lot to really like, but at the top of my list was the amazing recreation of 1971 London --- from the streets of the city to the styling of the clothing and hair of the characters. This amazing attention to time and place, along with the stellar ensemble cast of petty criminals, immediately sets the tone for this movie and transports you back to the time of post-60s disillusionment.
Unlike other suspense films, "The Bank Job" doesn't have so many twists and turns that it leaves you confused and frustrated trying to piece together an elaborate jigsaw puzzle. Perhaps this is because it is based on a true story and the screenplay remains true to the real life events. I'm still surprised that these petty thieves were able to get away with such a preposterous bank heist. "The Bank Job" is an entertaining, fast paced and engaging movie that is well worth a viewing.
