Reviews for The Bank
A slick and accomplished little movie about human greed, corporate corruption and, ultimately, revenge served cold.

Chaos theory, fractal geometry, and computer programs named Betsy may not sound like the makings of a good thriller, but once this gets rolling, it builds the suspense right up until the big finale.

Wenham is quietly charismatic as the increasingly mysterious protagonist, while LaPaglia enjoys the lion's share of the best lines as the Gordon Gekko-esque mercenary.
06/05/02
A finely done, enjoyable stock market mystery.

Connolly has coaxed terrific performances from all his players.

On balance, The Bank is more asset than debit.

An implausible, manipulative but moderately enjoyable crowd-pleaser.

It might not be in the league with Alfred Hitchcock's work, but it stacks up admirably next to David Mamet's best thrillers.

One of the best movies to come out of Australia in the last couple of years.

Though the script's twists and turns are fairly conventional and the Davis subplot is handled in an awkwardly obvious way, first-time feature filmmaker Robert Connolly understands the power of style.

The Bank, despite its faulty finale, is a fun and thrilling ride.
11/29/02
An unpredictable and intense exploration of the predictability of the world when deciphered through mathematics and logic.
10/18/01
It blends an intriguing concept with a suspenseful plot, and the result is a gripping 103 minutes at the movies.

Top CriticThough The Bank will no doubt make financial types squirm in discomfort at the unsavory depiction of their profession, the banking customers will get a huge kick out of the film's dark wit and ratcheting suspense.
08/30/02
The film is not without its flaws, but it sports a terrific production design that integrates magically into the story -- as well as another top-notch performance by Anthony LaPaglia.
01/09/03
Skillfully combines the seemingly disparate worlds of Frank Capra and Oliver Stone.
12/05/02
Top CriticAs far-fetched as the movie is (neither strand of the story finally adds up), The Bank ... conveys an engaging zest for upper-crust mischief.
