F. Gary Gray's thoroughly entertaining caper film--a remake of the 1969 crime classic starring Michael Caine and Noel Coward--doesn't merely imitate the original, and that is what makes it such a pleasant, wholly refreshing surprise. Mark Wahlberg stars as Charlie Croker, a smooth thief who orchestrates a flawless heist in Venice with the help of his mentor, safecracker John Bridger (Donald Sutherland). Together with his cronies--explosives expert Left-Ear (Mos Def), tech whiz-kid Lyle (Seth Green), adrenaline junky Handsome Rob (Jason Statham), and the shady Steve (Edward Norton)--Charlie walks away with $35 million worth of precious gold bars. But just when the gang appears to be headed to freedom, Steve performs a heist of his own, killing John and running off with the gold, thinking that Charlie and his mates are all deceased. A year later, Charlie has located Steve, who is gradually selling off the gold bars in Los Angeles. With the help of John's beautiful daughter Stella (Charlize Theron), a brilliant safecracker in her own right--as well as those adorable Mini Cooper sports cars--Charlie orchestrates a revenge heist that will teach Steve a valuable lesson about loyalty once and for all.
I like Mark Wahlberg and the other actors in "The Italian Job". Action packed, good acting! I bought this DVD used, I have never received a used DVD that was bad. As far as some new DVD's I have purchased in the past, some were bad skipping all over the place. So I always buy used!
A DVD work great. I have no problem with it. For used DVD good quality. The price not bad for bought two and got one free. I just bought some more. Thank You.
Watching the previews, I remember thinking "This is my kind of movie!". I was looking forward to a movie like this with such a great cast.
Sadly, the movie just seemed to move along too slow for my taste. Also, even with a great cast, some of the lines come off as "not quite right" - the chemistry just didn't seem to be there.
This is not really a bad movie - it does have its moments - but without the expected chemistry between the cast members, it does leave you wanting more.
Bottom Line: Rent this if need be... watch it once.. and move on. It's simply not worthy of purchasing for repeat viewing.
A great movie w/ good characters and action scenes.
Makes you want to get a charged up Mini and take to the highway!
And maybe get even with a bad guy!
Don't have the original yet to compare it to, but I thought it was great. Clever caper, Norton is amazing as always and Donald Sutherland is just the epitome of a class act. Rest of the cast did a good job too.
Final car chase scene could've used some help - not believeable. But it was fun and entertaining. Isn't that what a movie's supposed to do?
