The Bank Job is merely sufficient, a serviceable but forgettable film that appeases in the same way drive-thru food appeases. It should be savored about as much.

'The Bank Job': A Well-paced, Crackling Little Filmnew

Anthony Hopkins' great performance as Burt Munro, the real-life New Zealand codger and Indian motorcycle enthusiast who in 1967 set a land speed record that still stands today, is not enough to crash through this unabashedly sentimental wall of schmaltz.
