Sunday afternoon, after doing some time at Walgreens, the Gordons hit the moviehouse again for some mindless popcorn fun. The Bank Job is based on a true story: a 1971 bank robbery whose bounty has been rumored to be more than The Great Train Robbery. We squeezed in quite a bit of entertainment today: work, movie, dinner at Bert's Seafood in town (to properly compare & contrast with an upcoming revisit to 1618 West Seafood Grille this Saturday), and then home to catch up on the TiVo'd miniseries John Adams.
As always on our little bloggish sector of the interwebs, here's the trailer:
A caper. A heist. Some skullduggery. But all in all, the story is quite predictable. The twists and turns are rather straight and narrow. Think Ocean's Eleven (or 12, or 13) with all British accents. Fun, but minimally quirky. Please leave your brain at the door.
Our score? A meager yet popcorny "Matinee" rating from The House of Gordon.
