Movie Reviews of The Italian Job
Movie Review: I will probably watch it again
Summary: 3 Stars
A bunch of thieves steal a lot of gold but they get double-crossed and the rest of the movie is the double-crossed thieves working hard at double-crossing the 'bad' thief guy with help from the not-a-thief daughter of the daddy-thief (a good guy) who got wasted during the violent phase of the initial double-crossing. This is good because the daughter is Charlize Theron and she's always a pretty woman.
Why would those who stole a ton of gold be 'good' but the guy who betrayed them was 'bad'... I'm not so sure I understand but... whatever. There are maybe a couple more plot twists but I'm not going to spoil anyone the pleasure.
The main attraction is the Mini race - the Mini is a British-made car that's small but spunky - but I didn't find it too exciting. Another attraction is a hacker person who disrupts traffic in LA. There is also a not so fast speed boats race in Venice.
That's about it.
I can't believe I'm giving this movie 3 stars but, the fact is that, after I watched this movie on TV a couple of years ago and I decided it was not a top-of-the-line flick, I still bought the Blu-ray from Amazon (pre-owned). Chances are, I will watch it again some day when I have nothing else better to do so, there is some value in it.
Summary of The Italian Job
Though it bears little resemblance to the original 1969 thriller starring Michael Caine, the 2003 remake of The Italian Job stands on its own as a caper comedy that's well above average. The title's a misnomer--this time it's actually a Los Angeles job--but the action's just as exciting as it propels a breezy tale of honor and dishonor among competing thieves. Inheriting Caine's role as ace heist-planner Charlie Croker, Mark Wahlberg plays straight-man to a well-cast team of accomplices, including Mos Def, Jason Statham, and scene-stealer Seth Green in a variation of the role originally played by Noel Coward. As the daughter of Croker's ill-fated mentor (Donald Sutherland), Charlize Theron is recruited to double-cross a double-crosser (Edward Norton in oily villain mode), and once again, speedily versatile Mini Coopers play a pivotal role in director F. Gary Gray's exhilarating car-chase climax. It's perhaps the greatest product placement in movie history, and just as fun the second time around. --Jeff ShannonMystery & Suspense DVD Video
