Jason Statham's best role?
Very good film. Great performances from all characters and a film without loads of the "special effects" seen in most Hollywood films nowadays. So nice to see that the Brits can still make really enjoyable movies.
Based on the true story, and the idea is here:
In 1971 London, a car dealer (Jason Statham) and his gang of thieves break into a bank vault. The first-time thieves get far more than the cash and jewels they bargained for and soon find themselves mixed up with MI5, the mob and the Royal Scandal of the Century.
This movie keeps down great action, charming crime, and in all very good emotion till the end!
