Bank Job - a super movie
Saw Bank Job tonight. A really super movie. Not what I expected at all. Supposedly a true story. Not your typical bank caper movie, lots of intrigue, double crossing, pretty girls and lots of nudity.
If you see it, make sure you look for the John Lennon look alike. I assume they are saying that was really actually John Lennon in the true story, but dont want get sued by Yoko.
Great English cast. Takes place in the 1971.
From Wikipedia apparently it is a pretty amazing and true story. John Lennon and Yoko were involved.

What's the wiki link? Couldn't find anything related when searching for "Bank job".
Is this a new movie? I love this genre

Sounds intriguing. Doesn't seem like there's much room for nudity, though...

Jason's great as usual.

Yeah, my friend and I were completely shocked with all of the nudity. It was a pleasant surprise. Like I said, a little bit of everything.

Haven't heard anything about it in Australia. Some films take ages to get out here, if ever.

And considering what it says about the Royals you may never see it. Yeah nudity, Royals and John Lennon, its not your average bank robbery movie. Lord Mountbatten keeps his clothes on but not all Royals do.

Ah, I saw this recently on a plane flight. Very intriguing; one of the best I've seen for some time.

Is it out on DVD? It didnt do well here, so I may have missed the DVD at Target.
A lot of the stuff from the movie is in Wikipedia, so its really more amazing when you find that out.
