“The Bank Job” Trailer

“The Bank Job” starring Jason Statham looks outstanding. The film chronicles an unsolved 1971 London bank robbery known as the “walkie-talkie bank job.” What’s compelling about this story is that the British government issued a gag order suppressing public news of the robbery within days of the heist. A modern day “Deep Throat” informer acted as testimony for the film and points to embarrassing blackmail material implicating the royal family as being the reason the story was suppressed.

See the Guardian Unlimited story here for more information on the robbery.

I can’t wait for this one. February 29th.
