The Bank Job (2008)



The Bank Job is a moving ,thrilling and shocking movie which can get in to your nerves so easily from the very beginning of the movie.Lots of movies have been made on Bank Robbery but this one comes with varied intentions of varied people in the robbery.Its always great to Watch Jason Stathom playing the criminal beating the cops.How much time we have watched this man doing this ? but still he has lot to offer in this similar roles.

The Bank Job opens with numerous characters,at the centre we are shown with Martine offering Terry to rob a bank in London.Terry (Jason Statham)puts a team to break the bank and when they do it,the whole intention of Martine (Saffrom Burrows)to rob comes as a shocker to London.Martine was persuaded to loot the bank by the MI-5 agents and it becomes a total trap for many of the high profile people as their identity is at stake because of the safety locker boxes. “The Bank Job” is a movie more-or-less based on the 70’s Walkie Talkie robbery in London when a gang tunneled into a Lloyds bank safe deposit area.

We are shown with Pornography, Drugs,hidden cameras,Adulterated love,Back dealing secret agents, dishonest supermodels, murderous Black radicals, black mailing wives, whoring royal princesses, pimps , a group of Bank Robbers.We are shown with nasty at its peak among which we have to choose the robbers as the good hearted people.The movie takes a dig at the porno interests in a very moving manner to show what is trapped as a secret in the secret lockers.Every body runs for the different kinds of secret which is hidden in the locker,Which gives a gap for Terry to evade from the crime they had committed.Terry as a man is underplayed till he loots the bank ,he runs a auto mechanic garage and lives with his wife and kids.But at the nick of time after the roberry he tackles the minds of the chasers and cop in a intelligent manner which puts him in to his life he wants.

There are many characters in the movie who share a limited space for them selves,every body have some thing to grab from the looted things which they can not claim it their possessions .But still the movie has been underplayed in many instances because of the number of characters which appear.Roger Donaldson who directed this movie decided to stay stylish in his plot rather being deeper which has helped him to assemble many things in a single plot.

The Bank Job can not be labelled as a usual robbery movie,its style and substance makes it a shocking and interesting movie .Worth watch !

Anantha Thandavam -The original Pirivom Sandhippom

Below is the write up about a movie which I expect so much for this year.The story has been my personal favorite and is based on one of the best Tamil novel which I have read so far.I happened to read the novel Pirivom Santhippom during my college days ,which made me to think aloud about love.Written by Sujatha the story was initially published in Anantha Vikatan in early 80’s.The story of Pirivom Santhippom is of two series first in Tirunelveli second part in America.After eight years I am able to recall each and every characters of the work.This has nothing to do with my memory but with the beauty of the book.The main characters are “Ragupathi and Madumitha “.After reading the book I felt there can not be a sweeter name than Madumitha .Even the name of the particular character while reading the novel will make you feel for Ragupathy. Ragupathy meets his Ex lover in USA during his stay for his higher studies.Ragupathy avoids her but Madumitha married to a NRI Radhakrishnan @Rad moves ...

Mirugam (2007)

Mirugam was a much speculated and much criticised movie before its release for various reasons other than the main movie and I took the option to choose though I didn ’t have any interest to watch this particular movie .There are two things which should be mentioned about the movie first you can not avoid comparing this with Paruthiveeran and director Sami has tried to rework getting inspired by Cult classic Paruthiveeran .Secondly I can not understand will there be any human like Ayyanar in our day to day society.Why was this movie made?It self is a big confusion.Is it for awareness or for narrating a story of a beast?.If its awareness we should be very sorry for the director ,I think the world has moved a long way from 1987 to 2007 with regard to awareness of AIDS. Mirugam is a story about Ayyanar (New Comer Aadi )who lived notoriouslyas a protagonist during Late 80’s according to the film.He lives a life of a sandiyar who pounds his mother abuses every body and lives a life ...

Marudhamalai (2007)

Every time when I watch and enjoy a movie with usual formula of Romance ,Comedy,Macho Villain, ferocious Chases ,Challenges I always get reminded that I am a Tamil movie fan above any thing. Maruthamalai reminded me of the same.Its a same nonsense formula with Cop Hero challenging a Villain who rules a town unofficially not allowing the Government to conduct elections for Sixteen years.How illogical and attrocious! Movie stars Arjun , Vadivel , Lal , Nasaer , Nila but its undoubtedly Vadivel who steals the show.Like in Winner , Thalai Nagaram , Vadivel had given a splendid performance which made me spell bound with his body language and expressions.I could clearly say one more hit because of Vadivel ’s Comedy sequence.He is Ettu Egambaram A.K.A Encounter Egambaram (Like Vetayadu Velayadu DCP Raghavan ) in Marudhamalai and the screen explodes from the moment he appears.From the fifth minute to nearly on hour it’s a complete comedy feast for viewers. Arjun and Vadivel com...
