When a gang of dangerous men robs the Austin Texas Bank, Governor Burns calls in the only man for the job, U.S. Marshal Bill Parks. Parks tracks ! them north, finding death and destruction in their path. The trail finally leads him up into Oklahoma Territory, where he encounters the older brother of one of the outlaws, Conner Benton, who has one of the largest outlaw gangs in Oklahoma. Bill goes undercover to take Conner's little brother back to trial, something Conner is none too happy with. Before long, a showdown looms in The Benton Bank Job...
BANK JOB - Blu-Ray MovieA cheerful, energetic, and completely entertaining movie, The Bank Job follows some small-time hoods who think they've lucked into a big-time opportunity when they learn a bank's security system will be temporarily suspended--little suspecting that they're being manipulated by government agents for their own ends. The result is that the movie doubles its pleasures: While the robbery itself has the usual suspense of a heist film, when the robbery is over the hoods find themselves being hunted by the police, the government, and brutal crimina! l kingpins who were storing dangerous information in a safety ! deposit box. The Bank Job won't win any awards, but it's enormously fun. Director Roger Donaldson (No Way Out, Species) propels the action along with vigor, editing zippily with perfect clarity among multiple storylines and various colorful characters. Jason Statham (Snatch, The Transporter), as the leader of the bank robbers, successfully steps away from his usual bone-crunching roles to a more human presence. The rest of the cast--including Saffron Burrows (Deep Blue Sea), Keeley Hawes (Tipping the Velvet), David Suchet (Poirot), and many faces familiar from British film and television--give their characters the right degree of personality and flavor without getting fussy or detracting from the headlong rush of the story. A little sex, a lot of action, a sly sense of humor, and a twisty plot; if more movies had these basic pleasures, the world would be a happier place. --Bret Fetzer
