At the same time that Jason Statham’s only two movies on Netflix will leave the platform, another of his flicks that’s more than 15 years old has become a smash hit on streaming. Statham stars alongside Saffron Burrows in The Bank Job, the 2008 heist thriller following a crew planning to rob a room full of safety deposit boxes stacked with cash and jewelry. The Bank Job earned $64 million at the box office upon its release, and now the film has jumped to the top of the Starz streaming charts, sitting at #3 at the time of writing. The film also stars Stephen Campbell Moore and Daniel Mays and earned scores of 79% from critics and 74% from general audiences on the aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes.
Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais teamed up to write the script for The Bank Job, and Roger Donaldson directed the film. Donaldson’s most recent directorial outing came in 2017 on McLaren, the non-rated sports documentary detailing the story of Bruce McLaren. He also worked with Pierce Brosnan in 2014 on The November Man, a spy thriller that also stars Luke Bracey and Olga Kurylenko. His first directorial outing after The Bank Job came in 2011 in Seeking Justice, the mystery thriller starring Nicolas Cage and Guy Pearce that’s currently streaming on Prime Video. In the early 2000s, he helmed Thirteen Days, the political drama starring Yellowstone veteran Kevin Costner, and he also directed The Recuit, the spy thriller starring Colin Farrell and Al Pacino. He made his directorial debut in 1977 on Sleeping Dogs, the unrated drama starring Sam Neill.
