The Bank (2001)

More for collectors ...
This is the umpteenth heist movie I have seen. Bank Shot has an original story but somehow it failed to convince me. The comedy aspect falls pretty flat, the performance of George C. Scott is very laid back - it is hard to believe the same man played General Patton and other energetic characters. His exaggerated eyebrows must be one of the weirdest make ups in movie history. Curiously only a year before someone released a similar comedy misfire based on a Donald Westlake novel - The Hot Rock, with Robert Redford in a similar role like George C. Scott and with a similarly unconvincing performance. Anybody who liked The Hot Rock will like Bank Shot, one might deduce.

Don't even rent it!
I've always been a fan of George C. Scott's, but this movie is a major stinker. George isn't really too bad here, but the rest of the cast is horrible. This isn't even "made for tv" quality. It is hokey, corny and just plain dumb. I sat watching it with my mouth hanging open in disbelief! I bought it, watched it once, and threw it out. There, now you have been warned.

Very Funny
Don't let the "Professional Reviewer's" comments dissuade you, this is a classic! If you like a light hearted comedy, you'll like this.
