I always wanted to see this but never got around to. I had the idea that it would be similar to 'Snatch' and 'Lock, Stock', two other English heist films, and I suppose it was, but I don't remember the other two exactly so can't compare too much. In any case, I enjoyed The Bank Job: it got off to a fast start and was riveting building up to the bank job itself, which surprisingly wasn't the film's greatest climax.
However, after that it all got a bit messy and boring while setting up the finale. There was a period of half-an-hour or so where it was too hard to follow as several parties moved to claim their stakes in the heist. As a result I lost interest less than halfway into the film, but I did think that the ultimate climax tied up neatly and nicely. 6.5/10
