Short description

In Seattle, a group of armed robbers takes over a bank and holds several hostages. The leader of the gang, Lorenz, refuses to negotiate with anyone except Detective Quentin Conners, who had been suspended following a fatal incident involving a hostage and a criminal. To manage the operation, the police pair Conners with a rookie officer named Shane Dekker. Although the criminals eventually escape without taking any physical cash, the detectives discover that the heist was a distraction to plant a virus in the system. This digital attack allows the gang to steal one billion dollars from various accounts using the principles of chaos theory. As the investigation continues, Conners and Dekker find that Lorenz is murdering his own partners to cover his tracks.

The film was written and directed by Tony Giglio, marking his second feature following In Enemy Hands. The cast features Jason Statham and Ryan Phillippe as the lead detectives, with Wesley Snipes playing a dual role. Produced by companies in the United Kingdom, Canada, the United States, and Switzerland, the movie had a budget of 30 million USD but earned 7 million USD at the global box office. Audiences gave the film a rating of 6.4/10 on IMDb based on 60,000 votes and a 6.3/10 on TMDB from 1,183 votes.

What's left behind the scenes

  • Filming was supposed to take 40 days, but due to financial difficulties, the shooting schedule had to be compressed. As a result, the entire film was shot in 22 days.
  • Screen Gems almost released the film in US cinemas, but financial nuances in the relationship between the studio and the producers intervened. Then Lionsgate bought the film, but faced the same problems, and as a result, the film was released directly on DVD.
  • Jason Statham had an agreement with Franchise Pictures, which financed the project, to star in two bank heist films – “Chaos” and “Baker Street”. “Franchise Pictures” went bankrupt, and another studio took over “Baker Street”. The film was renamed “The Bank Job” (Roger Donaldson, 2008), and Statham also starred in it.
