The most entertaining film so far in 2008 is a fact-based British heist picture starring “Transporter’s” hot baldy, Jason Statham.

Fast-moving, intricately plotted and scrumptiously scandalous, “The Bank Job” recounts how a crew of sympathetic, semiamateur East End crooks in the early 1970s stumble into a lethal scheme worth millions in pounds that implicates the queen’s then-randy sister Princess Margaret in a multiracial menage a trois.
