Description:
When a brilliant young mathematician, on the verge of discovering a formula that could predict the fluctuations of the stock market, is hired by a corrupt bank CEO, the two men will play a deadly game of deception and revenge, while initiating one of the biggest banking scandals in history. Set in the fast-paced, ruthless world of high finance, The Bank, starring Anthony LaPaglia (Lantana, Analyze That, and the CBS hit, Without a Trace) and David Wenham (The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers and The Return of the King,) The Bank delivers edge-of-your-seat suspense, and takes a hard look at morality in the corporate world as it hurdles towards its unforgettable and shocking conclusion.
Amazon.com:
A good, slick little Australian movie that will provide catharsis for anyone wanting to see the mega-corporations of the world get their just desserts. David Wenham (Faramir from The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers) is a computer nerd who swears he's found the right combination of chaos theory and fractal geometry to allow him to predict the rise and fall of the stock market. This widens the piggy eyes of a bank executive (Anthony LaPaglia), who quickly puts the boy genius to work, with all the attendant perks. The movie builds to some nifty momentum in its final reels, and it gives a strong showcase to LaPaglia, the Aussie actor from TV's Without a Trace. His predator's swagger defines his character as a Great White in a pool full of smaller sharks--his speeches to his boardroom are classics of undiluted greed. Watching his comeuppance makes The Bank a gratifying experience. --Robert Horton

Do not watch this movie with anyone who is finance savvy. They will be bored since they can tell that the entire story plot is fake. Some snippets of the finance modelling and chaos theory are being thrown around and it just does not stand as strong as a movie premise for someone who does economics for living, vs. someone who is not familiar with it. Half financial thriller, half morality tale - this is definitely an interesting tale of greed, loss, revenge and healing.

This refreshing movie is a thriller with no physical violence. The hero doesn't try to win the day by punching or shooting. Instead, he uses his intelligence and creativity. One of the main ideas of the film is that it might be possible to predict the stock market using some mathematical formula. Certainly, there is ongoing research into that area. Various formulas have been tried in the last few years with well publicized results. There is a little mathematical mumbo jumbo in the film which probably ... Read More

Thoroughly entertaining from beginning to end. Has it all....suspense, horror, drama, comedy (a tad), excitement...PLUS I absolutely LOVE what the character Doyle (Wenhem) is all about and I'm certain you will too as long as you're not a big wig running a bank somewhere out there in the disgustingly, greedy world that banks exist in. I love A. La Paglia and would also love to have babies with him, but I hated him in this movie simply for the role he played. This is a unique movie and yes it is Australian ... Read More

This has all the makings of a great noir thriller. Plot incorporates characters driven by revenge and greed--very good. Acting--very good. Intelligence level--very good. Well, the intelligence level is very good UNTIL...
...the very last scene, right before the credits roll. Without giving anything away, if the climactic event has occurred, the sight of somebody being surprised by their current holdings is completely ludicrous. This very last scene totally ruined the entire film.

This movie is a example of how bad DVD technology is.
It completely hijacks your DVD player, disallowing the ability to fast forward or skip any of the FBI warnings or any of the self-promotional themes.
Any and all contents are unskippable and unforwardable until the movie begins. Pressing the "menu" button doesn't do anything either. The movie stops and the screen is black. There is no menu. The only recourse is to push "play" upon which you are forced to watch the hijacking of your ... Read More
