This movie stars Jason Statham and at the moment is a bit hard to explain other than it is about a Bank Heist so I'll let IMDB take this one:
Based on the true story of the 1971 Baker Street bank robbery which was prevented from being told for over thirty years because of a Government gagging order. The real story of how one of the biggest robberies in British history took place with no arrests ever made nor money ever recovered.
In September 1971, thieves tunneled into the vault of a bank in London's Baker Street and looted safe deposit boxes of cash and jewelry worth over three million pounds. None of it was recovered. Nobody was ever arrested. The robbery made headlines for a few days and then disappeared - the result of a 'D' Notice, gagging the press. This film reveals what was hidden for the first time. The story involves murder, corruption and a sex scandal with links to the Royal Family - a story in which the thieves were the most innocent people involved.
This movie kept my attention the entire 2+ hours and I'd have to rank it right up near the top in best movies I have screened this year. Awesome stuff, Definitely Recommended.
9/10
