Madex Movie Review: The Bank Job
This true story about a 70’s bank heist in London, Directed by visionary snore Rodger Donaldson, fails. When the film is over, the only think you can say is, well, its sorta cool that really happened. This film set in the 70’s has nothing grounding it in the 70’s except the wardrobe. The film style is half way between an episode of CSI and The Bourne series. Wall to wall distracting music, character disconnect, you really give a hoot about anyone involved, and these were real people once. When this poster came out, I was ready to see this film. A bold poster, a throw back to the 70’s film poster style. I was hoping the film would be a throw back as well, grainy film stock, perhaps a long zoom, a rip off of The Conversation or Dirty Hairy god willing, but no. I was really disappointed. But the marking team should be rewarded for boldly pointing me in the wrong direction. Its sad cause while watching it, you could tell this could have been shaped into a really great film, they just second guest themselves and made a 70’s movie for a modern CSI audience.
