...on my list at least. The Bank Job is less about the heist and more about the aftermath. Now I am a sucker for heist movies. The part of the heist that usually hooks me in is the planning. This movie really skipped over planning fairly quick. Even the actual heist portion doesn't take that long. The movie instead focuses most of its energy on what happens after the heist gets pulled off. It is hard to know who to trust in this movie as it doesn't seem to matter what the law is since everyone is looking out for themselves. Although this keeps the movie entertaining through some lulls in the story. The Bank Job is definitely not the best heist movie I have ever seen, but it is the best I have seen in a while. I give it 4 of 5 stars and place it at the #1 spot on my running list of 2008 movies which you can see on the right hand side of the page.
