One of the pleasures of bank-heist movies -- good ones -- is the process of unraveling the intricacies of their plot machinery, of marveling at the way Slot A fits so smoothly into Tab B, or doesn't: There's always the risk that a car won't show up at the appointed time, or that an eager rookie thug will blab important info to the wrong person. In the movies, pulling off a good heist always involves a certain degree of skill, of good-natured buffoonery, of haphazard luck, and the characters in Roger Donaldson's "The Bank Job" generously fill all those requirements. But "The Bank Job" has something else going for it, too. Set in London, and based on a real-life Lloyds Bank robbery, the picture captures the vibe of its time, evoking the period in which Great Britain was caught in a kind of limbo, post-swinging London and pre-punk. It was a country headed for inflationary troubles which instigated a three-day workweek to conserve energy and, further down the line, the sinister tenure of Margaret Thatcher. It's one thing to keep the action moving crisply, as Donaldson and his screenwriters, Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais, do.
