The Bank is a 2001 Australian thriller/drama film directed by Robert Connolly and starring David Wenham and Anthony LaPaglia.

Jim Doyle (David Wenham) is a maverick mathematician who has devised a formula to predict the fluctuations of the stock market.

In the present, the Centa Bank's board of directors orders CEO Simon O'Reily to find a way to increase profits.

Then he discovers the work of a mathematician, Jim Doyle, whose software B.T.S.E., based on fractal geometry of Benoit Mandelbrot makes it possible to predict stock market trends.

The Davises hire a lawyer, Stephen O'Connor, to sue the bank on the grounds that they were not informed about the risks of a loan in foreign currency.

The two stories come together in the hurtling final lap as Wayne confronts Simon in his country house while Jim puts his perfected program into operation.

"[4] The New York Post gave the film 1.5/4 stars, stating "Despite a crafty premise and a clever kink in the tale that almost saves it, Connolly isn't dexterous enough to achieve the Hitchockian level of suspense the movie needs.

"[5] The Los Angeles Times stated "Connolly might well have constructed a brisker, more exciting picture with more vivid and involving characters.
