Kind of a combination knock off from Ocean's Eleven and Gone in Sixty Seconds. This movie is entertaining, but not original. |

Loved this one. Clever, lots of action and great revenge. Norton is superb as the bad guy -- you love to hate him. |

Better tha Ocean's 11?? In some ways it is. |
|
The Italian Job is a complete film with few weak links. The acting is superb - and by extension the casting. Well directed, great camera work, good special effects - but the writing is what I believe set it apart and took it to the next level. The inevitable comparisons to Soderberg's "Oceans 11" are unfair to Italian Job in my opinion. I felt this film was much better written, the acting was better and overall execution a cut above what Oceans 11 accomplished. When watching the latter, I felt like it was more escapist entertainment, whereas Italian Job did a much better job of drawing me in to the story -and- entertaining me.The criticisms that Wahlberg didn't have enough 'charisma' to pull off the leading male role in this film are unfounded. If they came from the same people who gushe... |

I HAD A BAD EXPERIENCE |
|
I really liked this movie. It wasn't artistically brilliant, but it was definitely action-packed and full of laughs from the ever-hysterical Mos Def as well as Seth Green. Jason Stratham was tolerable [finally] and Mark Wahlberg does a decent job carrying the movie. Charlize Theron is silly, but was epically swell, and Edward Norton is a great GREAT villain. A great picture. |

Polished, Astute Heist Film |
|
I saw this movie back in 2003 but I find it amazing that I don’t remember anything about it except that one tunnel scene near the end. So, I decided to watch it the second time and was reminded of how much I liked it the first time. I like that this isn’t the kind of caper film that takes itself too seriously. The tone of the picture is very light–it has that laid back, vacation feel that makes me want to go outside and frolic with nature. The characters of Mark Wahlberg, Charlize Theron, Jason Statham, Seth Green, and Mos Def are very funny in their own ways (I loved the Napster jokes!) but also very smart which makes them that much more interesting. I don’t know if I completely bought Edward Norton as the villain but I felt that he had fun with his character so I played along with it. A... |
