Mini-Review: Two gripes: it's called The Italian Job yet the only hat-tip to the (superior) original is the use of the Minis so this seems more like a marketing decision than film-related and that's annoying, and when you put an actor as good as Donald Sutherland in a film with lesser actors it really shows up their limitations. That said, fairly enjoyable.

Mini-Review: Okay, so it's nothing much like the book and it has two children in it that you'd quite happily shoot in the face in real life but Cruise is surprisingly good and believable in the role of Mr Run Away and the effects are excellent. Great part by Tim Robbins too.

Mini-Review: Good idea, good cast, good direction but ... never quite clicked.

Mini-Review: Nice to see the large-scale epics and you can't beat good battle scenes in great settings. Orlando Bloom is annoying as usual and Peter O'Toole spends the whole movie looking surprised which he may well have been. Good cast.

Mini-Review: Another film that failed to live up to the hype. Yes, some of it is quite funny, but it's just not that great.
