18 Years Later, Jason Statham’s 'The Bank Job' Streams Free on Fawesome

Eighteen years after its 2008 release, The Bank Job, starring Jason Statham, has found new life on the free streaming service Fawesome, where it appears in the platform’s crime lineup. Directed by Roger Donaldson and written by Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais, the film fictionalizes the 1971 Baker Street robbery, framing the heist around not just money but compromising secrets kept in a London bank’s safety deposit boxes.

It was made on a reported $20 million budget and grossed about $66.1 million worldwide, a solid performer for a mid-budget thriller. Statham leads a cast that includes Saffron Burrows as Martine Love, Stephen Campbell Moore as Kevin Swain, Daniel Mays as Dave Shilling and James Faulkner as Guy Singer, with David Suchet, Keeley Hawes, Richard Lintern, Peter Bowles, Alistair Petrie, Colin Salmon and Peter De Jersey in supporting roles.
