The Bank Job
 

Just watched this and it is the hidden gem of the year, imo. It really didn't get much press coverage here at all.

Loosely based on a real event - the Baker Street Bank Robbery in September 1971 - the screenplay speculates on why the government of the day suddenly clamped down on any reporting of the robbery by issuing a D-Notice, and comes up with some truly believable theories.

An excellent crime/thriller starring Jason Statham, with a good plot and lots of humour. Well worth watching.

Sounds so interesting.

It's one of my favourites of 2008, too. Although I needed subtitles because of the accents. :D
