While returning from the USA in my flight I saw this movie "The
Bank Job". The
Bank Job is supposed to be a true life story of a bank robbery that took place
in London in 1971. The robbery was allegedly plotted by UK's secret police to cover
up a prominent member of British Royal Family. It involved thieves digging a tunnel
below a shop into a near-by bank, get into its vault and rob it. After finding millions
of pounds in the vault they also discover lot of dirty secrets - and realize why the
secret police plotted them into this. They use the mud uncovered to negotiate for
getting their safe passage. In the true life it is claimed none of the robbers were
arrested due to their safe passage given by the government.
A good movie that is enjoyable and also well taken. A must see if you like this "Genre"
of movies.
