Saw this last night, thought it was great although a bit slow in places. Think because the event actually happened and it was based on true events, it made the film seem better if you know what I mean?

Spoiler

Got a bit confused as to the involvement of Michael X and the Porn bloke?

 

[Medur]

Spoiler

The porn bloke was giving bribes to the police. He kept a ledger book detailing all his payments in the bank vault.

Michael X had a compromising photo of a royal and was using it to stop the authorities prosecuting him for his other offences. He kept the photo in the bank vault. The authorities therefore set-up the woman to encourage the robbers to raid the vault, so they could get the photo.

Thanks, makes sense now. Just a bit too much going on at the start for me to understand fully!

I really enjoyed this film.Great characters & a great script.I'm not that big a fan of Jason Statham but i thought he was good in it.

At the time i went to see the film i didn't know it was the writers of Porridge & Auf Wiedersehen Pet that wrote the script.

 

[Nanny Wendy]

I saw it last Monday and enjoyed it.

I instantly recognised the name Terry Leather as it was used in Auf Wiedersehen, Pet. That made sense to me when I saw who wrote the film on the end credits...Clement and La Frenais....

Just got back from seeing this movie and loved it!

Didn't think I would as it ain't my usual type of movie but it's well worth a look.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Just wanted to give it another thumbs up. Saw this yesterday and really enjoyed it.

Great 70s vibe.

 

[Margo Lane]

Excellent film. enjoyed every minute of it.

Seen this last night. Much better than I thought it would be.

 

[<KING>]

Is it out to rent then?

 

[Lizzy :D]

If by rent you mean download, then yes.

Glad I found this thread.

I saw this movie tonight and thought it was fantastic.

Jason Stratham is the British version of Bruce Willis IMHO.

I beg everybody to see this movie. I am not going to give anything away, but it was tense and gripping............and the acting was superb.

This is easily the best movie I have seen yet this year

It makes a pleasant change from the usual run of the mill American crap blockbusters being churned out at the moment.

 

[DJ Warp Shadow]

The dvd comes out 30th June.Well that's the date over at play.com & amazon.There is no mention of any extra features but lets hope there is.

 

[farah_ruff88]

Was reading about this in DVD Review and it looks really, really good.

 

[Lessons]

is it just me or when statham is on the phone to the girl from casualty a phone numbers read out "01946", thats surly a major gaff on their part as the 01 part of the number wasnt introduced till the early 90's

 

[asianondrums]

I enjoyed it but not enough to watch it again. Saffron Burrows was fab.

 

[loveuMJ]

Okay, we're in the middle of robbing a bank, now lets go to sleep.

 

[sharkbait_hoo_haa_haa291]

No the London code was 01. In the 80s it became 081 or 071, then later 0181 or 0171, then sense prevailed and became 020 (the 8 & 7 became part of the exchange number).

 

[sutherngal_00]

It was alright but the start was very pedestrian, it picked up a bit but not a very memorable film.

SPOILER:

Personally I wouldn't go to kip in the middle of robbing a bank!
