The Bank Job: Base Of True Events

[Ivy]

Summary: Based on the 1971 Baker Street robbery in central London, from which the money and valuables stolen, totally in the high millions, were never recovered. And out of the 400 boxes that were broken into, and all the boxes in the 400 range, or near it, totally around 100; well, their conents were never revealed or reported stolen. The film reveals what was hidden in those boxes, involving murder, corruption, and a sex scandal with links to the Royal Family...The producers allege that the story was prevented from being told because of a D-Notice (now known as a DA-Notice) a government gagging request, allegedly to protect a prominent member of the British Royal Family as stated did some "Dirty" things...And supprisingly, it turns out that in all this corruption and cover-up, the thieves are caught in the middle and probably the most innoscent people in this movie, just got caught up in the wrong shit.

Review: This movie is has a lot of racial tension, and is very controversial. Think about it, if there was a gag issued ordered, then how do we know what is fact and what is fiction in this action-packed thiller? One thing that I liked was that since the movie took place in mostly London, the actors actually had London accents, usually they use just American actors who try to make the fake accent, but end up totally destoying their character...I give this movie a thumbs up if you like to watch something that will leave you guessing until the very end...What member of the Royal Family was it I ask???
