The Bank Job

Of all the films I've seen this year, this was certainly among them.

Plot: An underworld miscreant has some naughty photos of one of the royals,
presumably Princess Anne. These would be very embarassing, and he's using them
as blackmail material in order to get out of jail free. MI5 would quite like
them back, so they recruit some amateurs to rob the bank the photos are being
held in. Which they do.

Said robbers having got away with the photos and a few equally hot pieces of
blackmail material, and everyone involved basically knowing all about it, they
are then trapped in a dangerous situation of several serious and ruthless
people willing to kill them all to get their hands on it.

It runs along quite entertainingly, without really making any great claims to
being great cinema, which is good, because it's not. It's the kind of thing
that if you found yourself at a loose end you could watch and be entertained,
but needn't feel you missed out on anything.

Most amusing is a scene near the end where Jason Statham apparentlysuddenly
realises "Hang on, why am I putting up with this crap? I'm The Transporter!"
and kicks the shit out of a bunch of guys, having apparently been a mild-
mannered car mechanic and amateur villain up until that point.

7/10. Amusing and fun, but not *that* amusing or fun.
