Strong coarse language and sexual references

Director: Roger Donaldson
Actors: Jason Statham, Saffron Burrows, Stephen Campbell Moore, Daniel Mays

Inspired by the infamous 1971 robbery that took place at the Lloyd's Bank in Marylebone London, the highly-charged heist thriller tautly interweaves high-level corruption, murder and sexual scandal in 1970s England. A car dealer with a dodgy past and new family, Terry (Jason Statham) has always avoided major-league scams. But when Martine (Saffron Burrows), a beautiful model from his old neighbourhood, offers him a lead on a foolproof bank hit on London's Baker Street, Terry recognizes the opportunity of a lifetime. Martine targets a roomful of safe deposit boxes worth millions in cash and jewellery. But Terry and his crew don't realize the boxes also contain a treasure trove of dirty secrets - secrets that will thrust them into a deadly web of corruption and illicit scandal that spans London's criminal underworld, the highest echelons of the British government, and the Royal Family itself... the true story of a heist gone wrong... in all the right ways.

Great storyline,mostly because it's true. Could have had a touch more action scenes but otherwise up there with the best of British villain films

Best movie I have scene in a long time. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is the action is a little lacking (considering who the main actor is). But this movie does keep you hooked from the start.

Really enjoyable. Although quite long, it didn't matter coz it keeps the interest all the way through with the occasional quirky humour thrown in. Loved it.

One of the more enjoyable heist films with a nasty edge.

Could have been a lot better. Just dragged on and on. The cross over of stroies al'la Tarantino was good. Ending was good.
