Movie Reviews of The Italian Job (Special Collector's Edition)
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 (Special Collector's Edition)
A group of thieves plan on pulling off a heist by creating a large traffic jam in Los Angeles.Genre: Feature Film-Action/Adventure
Rating: PG13
Release Date: 2-MAY-2006
Media Type: DVD
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 Shannon
