Review:
Dull title for a juicy, fact-based caper movie that’s full of
surpgoes up I have no intention of spoiling. I’ll say this. In 1971,
a robbery took place at Lloyds Bank in London that involved a royal
sex scandal. The thieves, played here by Brit athlete and model
turned credible actor Jason Statham, seductive Saffron Burrows and
the cream of Brit character actors, are hustled into robbing the
place by higher-ups who are using them just to get their hands on
incriminating photos in a deposit box. Director Roger Donaldson
keeps the suspense crackling. By the end, you’ll want to know more
about a heist that literally did shake the empire.
