My Review:
Well, that was fun! I didnt know what to expect about this one really. Since the original cast wasnt in it. The movie starts of in a cool way, a 'tribute' or what i shall call it to the original Bourne movies. The movie got a good and strong story, that keeps me glued to the tv, you didnt know what would happen here and there. There was alot of good actionscenes wich you need to have in a Bourne movie. They have been able to mix both the suspence and action trough out the movie. I was wondering what would happen' next. And i liked Jeremy Renner in this one. I think he did a solid job. Just a solid performance from him and Rachel Weisz. And i really liked the sound and picture quality in this aswell. All in all, a real good actionflick. But there was a few minor details they could have done a bit better IMO, and that they didnt have some of the orignial cast members in this one was a bit negative aswell for me. Atleast i hoped we would see Matt Damon (not only in pictures) but a great movie, with a great story. And if you have watched the 3 Bourne movies before this one. I highly recommand to check this one out! You wont regret it imo!

My Review:
So, that was a interesting movie actually, with a strong story. A movie about both what happens 'in war' and about politics IMO. And for me it was interesting to see how CIA was working etc. A movie with alot of suspence in it, even tho it didnt happen too much. But i liked where they were going with the story. Even tho the movie was a bit slow at times, still a good movie that enjoyed watching. And a movie that i would recommand you guys to check out.

My Review:
Well, to be honest.. I'm actually lost for words. I remember watching the first movie, and i thought that wasnt good enough either. But since i found the Pirahna 2 on cheap cheap sale, i thought i give it a shot. And wow, what a shiitake mushroomty movie (sorry to be blunt) but wow. The story, the visual efects. The acting, wow. And what about David Hasselhoff? Is he 'that' broke, that he would do almost whatever to get some money? Well, i'm sorry to say it. but this mix between "horror, pornwannabe and comedy" it didnt work for me at all. And if they would make a movie number 3, i wouldnt watch it. Well, for me.. Skip it.

My Review:
I'm not going to say too much about this really. Because 007 will always be 007. Heard only great things about this one. (The best Bond movie ever made etc, Daniel Craig is the best Bond in ages) And the movie killed it at the boxoffices. And i have to agree on alot of things. Great movie, with a real good story. Great cast. And i really liked what they did with it, And the people behind the cameras did a great job too. Skyfall is one of the better Bond movies i've seen actually. Its up there with Casino Royale, and some of the older classics. And i actually think Daniel Craig is doing a good job as 007. And i just have to say what an interesting ending to the movie. I'm looking forward to check out the next Bond movie. This is ofcourse highly recommanded to check out!

Title: The Bank Job
Year: 2008
Director: Roger Donaldson
Rating: Rated 15 : Very Strong Language, and Strong Sex and Violence
Length: 112 Min.
Video: Widescreen 2.35:1
Audio: Engelsk: DTS-HD Master Audio: 7.1, Engelsk: Dolby Digital EX: 5.1 (Matrixed 6.1), Kommentar: Dolby Digital: Dolby Surround
Subtitles: English, Spanish












Stars:
The Gang
Jason Statham (1972)
Saffron Burrows
Stephen Campbell Moore
Daniel Mays
James Faulkner












Plot:
THE BANK JOB is inspired by an extraordinary true event - a daring robbery that took place in the 70s, with a haul valued higher than that of the Great Train Robbery. Yet almost as soon as the 'Walkie Talkie Bank Job' happened, a gagging order was placed on the story and it disappeared completely from the media. Only now, over 30 years later, has the fascinating story come to light and the truth behind a right royal scandal been exposed. Directed by Roger Donaldson (The Recruit, Species), THE BANK JOB reveals an amazing backstory where for once the criminals were the most innocent ones involved. Starring Jason Statham (The Transporter, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels), Saffron Burrows (Deep Blue Sea) and David Suchet (TV's Poirot), this is a highly charged thriller and an immensely enjoyable Brit-flick in one.

My Review:
That was a allright movie actually, with a interesting story that i didnt know about (based on a true story happend in England in the early 70's.) Its always nice to learn about those kind of things. And i liked how they did the actually 'job' and how people turned some of the things around. A movie that i think was well done actually. And what can you say about Jason Statham? Statham will always be Statham iguess. A movie i think they got alot out of. A movie that i recommand you people to check out.












My Rating:

[samuelrichardscott]

A good change of scene for Statham. I liked it a little more than you, but glad you enjoyed it.

[Piffi]

Agreed like his character in 'London' if you've seen that one. Not a very 'Statham' character that either.

[Dragonfire]

I saw Bank Job a few years ago..I enjoyed it.

[DSig]

I agree .. this is a pretty good film (and nice change) for Jason Statham.  It seemed to add more depth to his character here and the over all film and other characters were good.

My Review:
What a great movie this is really. The movie got a real good story with a lot of suspence in it. And the story is simple really, what are you willing to do, to protect something that are real close to you? Someone are willing to do whatever it takes. And someone just have a masterplan all along. Even though nothing much happens in the movie (most of the stuff, happens inside\outside the bank) the whole movie trough out. But even tho, they made it work great. With some good mix between action and alot of suspence, you was just wondering, 'what will happen next' ? And i really enjoyed the journey they  put us trough. And with a real strong cast aswell, this is a real good movie IMO.  A good Denzel Washington and a good Jodie Foster. A movie that i highly recommand you guys to check out. A good 2hours of entertainment.

Bored and dissatisfied with the living shoe could earn as a seamstress, she began singing in the backstreet cafés and bars, where she attrracted the attention of Étienne Balsan, a rich gentleman who immediately became intrigued by the stubborn, striking young ingénue. Swept up in her rich lover's world Coco soon drew the eyes of society towards her with her unique, elegant style in a time of flamboyance and excess. Just as controversial was the passionate love affair in which she became embroiled, which shattered the conventions of her society – a love so dangerous and forbidden it threatened to destroy her.

My Review:
This 4th movie in the pack, is one of my favourite in the series (so far) just got a great story, that had me glued to the tv trough out. Got some good chases. And there happend some important stuff aswell, that they touched in 'Fast Five' and they build on the story too. Got some good action scenes aswell. And i really enjoyed the visual efects too (some of the better i've seen in the franchise) and with this movie, they take it back a bit to where it all starts. Its a bit orignal wich is good. And i think they got a cast that works well together. Overall a real good movie. And a franchise that i highly recommand you guys to check out!
