....and thought it was good.

If you enjoy caper flicks you will probably like this one.

The Link

My wife and I were both entertained.

We were reminded a little of “The Italian Job” and this flick could certainly have been called “The British Job.”

Because it was very British and something like an intriguing mash up of “Snatch” and the popular BBC series “MI-5.”

In fact, Keeley Hawes who played “Zoe” in that excellent TV series from across the pond, also known as “Spooks” and which I got through NETFLIX, has a good supporting role.

Some humor and a little action, plus a few gadgets, a bit of violence and sufficient sex seasoned this screenplay to satisfy my tastes.

Jason Statham stars and leads a cast of memorable character actors like those you usually and happily find in every British movie.

I thought from the previews that Mathew Macfadyen (from Spooks) was in it also, but he's not listed in the credits on imdb.
 
It is a good caper flick. Saffron Burrows looks better than ever and all of the small roles are nicely done. Quite a tone shift after the caper.
 
Bang A Gong (Get It On)
T. Rex

Well you're dirty and sweet, clad in black
Don't look back and I love you
You're dirty and sweet, oh yeah
Well you're slim and you're weak
You've got the teeth of a hydra upon you
You're dirty sweet and you're my girl.

Chorus:
Get it on, bang the gong , get it on
Get it on, bang the gong, get it on

You're built like a car, you've got a hub cap diamond star halo
You're built like a car, oh yeah
You're an untamed youth that's the truth with your cloak full of eagles
You're dirty sweet and you're my girl.

Repeat chorus

You're windy and wild, you've got the blues in your shoes and your
stockings
You're windy and wild, oh yeah
You're built like a car, you've got a hub cap diamond star halo
You're dirty sweet and you're my girl.

Repeat chorus

You're dirty and sweet, clad in black, don't look back
And I love you
You're dirty and sweet, oh yeah
You dance when you walk so let's dance, take a chance, understand me
You're dirty sweet and you're my girl.


Very Nice Opening......................................
