What Parents Need to Know
About The Bank Job
Parents need to know that this edgy heist thriller has several scenes that show or insinuate "kinky" sex (bondage, domination) being paid for by British government officials. There's also partial nudity (breasts) and a thematic focus on scandals involving pornography and prostitution. Violence includes the prolonged torture/murder of a sympathetic crook; you can also expect plenty of gun use and fighting. Drugs (both dealing and smuggling) are discussed frequently, and scenes show marijuana use, cigarette smoking, and drinking. Language includes lots of "f--k"s, plus other profanity and British slang ("wanker," etc.).

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about how heist movies tend to portray their "heroes." Even though they're planning robberies, characters like Terry and the guys in the Ocean's movies are sympathetic -- is that realistic? What defines a "good guy" and a "bad guy"? How does this movie make Terry and his outlaw gang seem less offensive than the bad cops and government authorities?

The Bank Job will entertain.
The Bank Job is Jason Statham's best performance yet he plays a inexperienced bank robber who with his mates plan a bank robbery with an old flame of his plyed very well by Saffron Burrows.

The Best Heist Movie So Far!!!!!!!
I decided to see this movie in the theaters rather than watching "Doomsday". I think I made a good choice. This film is by far the Best Heist Film Ever! I loved it beginning to end. This lands just above "The Italian Job".

Intense Heist Movie!!
This heist movie is unlike many heist movies to come out these days. The story revolves around a substantial amount of nude and group sex pictures of the Royal British Family. This is where the R-rating of this movie comes from. This movie's R-content mainly comes from the frequent nude scenes and related theme. This movie has one sex scene in the beginning of the movie where two women and a man are engaged in group sex. This is scene, though, only shows blurred distant shots or close-ups of breasts and stays away from any strong graphic detail. Most of the movie's violence lacks any detail, but it does have a strong impact. There is one scene in particular where a man has his legs torn apart with a blow-torch. This scene, again, does not have any graphic detail. All we see is the blow-torch tear through the parts and very briefly show it tear through the skin. However, we hear and see the intense agony of the character being tortured. Overall, this is a masterful heist movie with a thoroughly entertaining plot for everyone ages 15 and up. (As a side not I am 15 not 14 and I don't know how to change the age.)

I walked out
This movie was basically porno in theatres. The first thing you see is naked people. followed shortly by more naked people. The first 20 minutes was freking sex, porno, and chain whipping. we left after 20 mnutes when we saw an old man being chained up and whipped. Utterly distasteful and definately not for kids or anyone else who isnt a pervert.

STUPID UNNEEDED SEX THROUGHOUT
I walked out of this movie. And I know I'm sounding really annoying, but there is so much nudity in this film. There's bondage, orgy's, strippers, and plain old sex scenes. It's partially disgusting.
