...There is not a lot of scintillating dialogue in The Bank Job, but there are plenty of kinky sexual allusions and it includes a torture sequence about as brutal as anything you're likely to see in the movies these days. The only major laugh line is supplied by Lord Mountbatten, that grandest of all modern courtiers. Recruited as a kind of bag man for the secret service, he receives the nasty photograph of the Princess, with the blithest of comments: "She always was a scalawag."

So, when Ortega managed to get reelected in 2006, even those who had originally come here to support his first government were leery of his return. And now, after a year in office, that caution has turned to criticism...
