WhileJason Statham’s latest movie isdominating Amazon MGM+ streaming charts, one of his older hits that’s been largely lost to time has stumbled back into streaming success nearly 20 years later. Statham stars alongsideSaffron Burrows(You) andStephen Campbell Moore(Season of the Witch) inThe Bank Job, the 2008 heist thrillerthat also acts as a retelling of the infamous Baker Street robbery.The Bank Jobis streaming on HBO Max in the United Statesand on Starz globally, where it’s been in the top 10 for nearly a month now. The film earned a “Certified Fresh” 79% from critics onRotten Tomatoes, and a 74% on the audience-driven Popcornmeter. It more than tripled its modest $20 million budget at the box office with a $64 million global performance, making it a solid profit forLionsgate.
Dick ClementandIan La Frenaiswrote the script forThe Bank Job, andRoger Donaldsondirected the film. Clement is also known for his work as a scribe onAcross the UniverseandGoal! The Dream Begins, and Donaldson worked withMel GibsonandAnthony Hopkinson the 1984 historical epic,The Bounty. For Statham,The Bank Jobcame at an interesting time during his still young and budding career. He was fresh off of starring in bothCrankandIn the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale, but also not yet to star inDeath Race. Three years afterThe Bank Job, Statham would suit up as Lee Christmas for the first time inThe Expendables, a role that he recently played only a few years ago.
