Fifteen years ago, Jason Statham was gradually making his mark as one of our most reliable action stars having already headlined two Transporter movies and the first of two Crank movies. Amidst all of this action insanity, he took a bit of a departure with a more cerebral starring role in this labyrinthine bank heist thriller based on a crazy series of true events occurring in London in 1971. He leads an amateur gang of thieves out to raid the underground vault of a nearby bank who end up all biting off WAY more than they could have ever expected to chew as they end up getting mixed up with local druglords, government agents, and even members of the Royal Family! Roger Donaldson directs this underrated gem of a thriller also starring Saffron Burrows and David Suchet.
