The Bank Job: OK, 10 minutes in I am saying 'UhOh, this all english cast, semi mainstream/Indie film seems rather muddled'. But all of a sudden, WHAM, it starts clicking and at that point its a all balls to the walls caper flick. Nothing more escapist than a good heist flick. How will they steal the stuff? , will they get caught? This movie throws in 2 exciting elements. Political intrigue and its a true story.

I wouldnt say its the best acted movie of the year , but it is by far and away , the best heist film in quite awhile.

statham is one of those action guys that does the role well, and then you meet him in person and he is 5'3".

The Transporter was a decent film for a low budget action movie.

Thanks SJ. The previews looked good.

I think Statham would make a better James Bond than the current stif who did Casino Royale. Now, before someone argues "how can you say that?" because the media has brainwashed people to believe that this guy is so great, stop and think. That guy has the sense of humor of a storm trooper. Bond is supposed to be witty. Statham can pull that off.
