Isn’t this a die hard plot?

I was gonna post “wasn’t this a movie?” But then realized this is probably like several hundred movies. What was the one where they get into like the deli nextdoor to the bank and then drill through the wall in the middle of the night? And they had a lookout on the roof across the street? I remember that being a good movie but can’t think of the title. Was that a Die Hard? I feel like this was kind of an indie production in the style of Guy Ritchie.

The Bank Job (2008)? Has Jason Stathem. Based on a real heist from the 70s in the UK?

Hmm maybe. Good guess. That sounds like the right time and setting and plot and cast, lol. But I don’t remember the MI5 aspect. Who knows, it was so long ago.

I’m sure it’s insured so the capitalist class can keep exploiting people without worrying

These were all people's private boxes with personal savings, valuables, legal documents etc.. The insurance sum is decent (10000-something € I read somewhere) but won't cover the value of the contents for many.

The bank they hit was a middle-class savings bank and these were the life savings of ordinary people; Probably not the poorest of the poor, but still just average people.

Well then I hope they band together and sue the living hell out of that pos bank

an insurance sum can't replace the sentimental value of an heirloom

I hope the regular people get fairly compensated
