Review of The Bank

The Bank (2001)
9/10
This is one Bank that you can trust!!

Oh ok, Banks are a soft target. Nobody likes them very much, they're seen as evil and manipulative and not really customer focussed. But the upshot of this is that that is exactly what the banks, in general do.

The film itself has two stories: Story 1 - Centabank CEO Simon O'Reilly, played by Anthony LaPaglia is introduced to Jim Doyle, David Wenham. Jim's a maths genius. He's been working on a system that promises to make Simon and his cohorts incredibly rich. There's also sub-plot here of Michelle, newcomer Sibylla Budd, who also works at the bank, falling for Jim.

Story 2 - Wayne Davis and his family are fighting off foreclosure because, years ago, Centabank, enticed them into a foreign currency loan that went bad. The Davises are desperately avoiding the inevitable but when the sheriff comes to call, he traps Wayne's young son, Roger.

These two stories intersect but to give anymore away would be criminal.

It's a clever film that really does keep you guessing and well worth seeking out!
