The Italian Job (2003)
A gang of robbers, lead by career criminal Charlie Croker, create the largest traffic jam in Los Angeles history, giving them time to pull off a theft of gold bullion. They get away in their Mini Coopers, which are small enough to drive on sidewalks so they can make a clean get away before the traffic jam clears.

Although there is a high-BS factor in any big heist flick, and a definite predictability, The Italian Job still delivers mightily on entertainment value, with some funny moments and breathtaking stunt work. [Full Review]

It's really just an elongated commercial for the new Mini Coopers, but like BMW Films' series The Hire (with Clive Owen), that's not necessarily a bad thing. Norton was contractually forced to make this film, and it shows in his performance. The car chases, however, are tons of fun. Seth Green is hilarious, and I like Mark Wahlberg, even if sometimes I probably shouldn't -- I just do. This could be a much better movie (and wouldn't you know it, the original is), but it's still a fun time-waster.

Just goes to show what I've always said "Mark Wahlberg is no Michael Caine". But to be fair, Michael Caine is no Mark Wahlberg which is why there will never be a Mikey Mike and the Funky Bunch tour.

Loved Mos Def, and Statham picked a more interesting role for once. A decent if not flawed remake.

Enjoyable caper thriller is perhaps too obviously crafted in the shadow of Soderbergh's OCEAN'S 11 (and never reaches such lofty heights), but a capable cast and some good action direction from Gray makes this breezy fun, even selling this disinterested car watcher on the beauty and style of the Mini-Cooper (especially as driven by Theron). Leads to a genuinely gripping and preposterously exciting climactic chase, even if the ultimate resolution falls somewhat flat.

This movie had action, a little bit of romance,and Mark Wahlburg. It definitely had it's moments. I think the acting choices were bad and the acting wasn't either. Who would've thought that Minnie Coops in a movie would be good?

The first two acts hit all the right beats for a fun heist plot, including a couple well-timed "wrench-in-the-plan" twists, keeping it engaging through some less-than-stellar humour and characterization (Theron's Stella is tragically reduced to nothing more than a "got girl" by movie's end in a vomit-inducing end credits scene). The great car-chase action of the third act, meanwhile, leads to a less than satisfying deus-ex-machina ending courtesy of some unnecessary side characters.

Seth Green has a few entertaining quips here and there but aside from that the movie isn't very impressive at all. I wouldn't recommend it.

A Great crime movie akin to Ocean's 11.

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.

Edward Norton has always been the shit but Marc Walberg is earning more and more respect from me with every new mvie he comes out with. He's improved tremendously as an actor since fear.

This film, which feels very much like Ocean's Eleven, is a great planned heist film that is alot of fun to watch. The chemistry between the characters is essential, and the A-List cast simply adds to the fun.

It is a minor league version of Ocean's Eleven. I mean not exactly the same type of movie but the same idea. Some of the chase scenes are pretty cool, and that is what makes the movie watchable. Wahlberg is aight (insert your Boston accent).

Background Noise: The Movie. Retroactively, it's Fast Five without the bombastic bravado or willingness to bask in its own stupidity. The Big Dumb Ending goes on for forty minutes, until it just sort of ends. Score would likely be lower had I paid to see this.

i originally gave this a 68 from memory, but I re-watched it and liked it a lot more. However, while in some spots you can really suspend your disbelief b/c the heists are supposed to be fun and a little outlandish, I had a problem believing that anyone could survive driving a car into water with ice floating in it, remaining submerged for minutes and then swimming to shore- c'mon people!

A highly watchable and entertaining caper film. The cast all play their parts with enthusiasm and have a very nice chemistry. Norton is obviously the cream of the crop but Wahlberg, Theron, Statham, Mos Def, and even Seth Green hold their own very well. Also has some very fun car chases.

"Keep all hands and feet inside the ride at all times"...what a fun ride this was. OK...I have been waiting for like 2 years for the sequel (Brazilian...) when are they gonna finish it already? I am dying to see it. Charlize, Edward , and Jason: some of my favorite people!

The movie is basically a 2 hour long mini cooper ad. The all star Hollywood cast is a bit of a snooze because it's so typically commercial in every facet. Everyone gets their turn to mug for the camera and spout their witty one liner. Completely forgettable remake that reveals just how out of fresh ideas Hollywood is at this point.

If you forget about the original and judge this on it's own merits, it's an enjoyable film. A nice light-hearted movie and let's not forget, it's got Charlize Theron in it. :)

Despite some iffy plot elements, The Italian Job succeeds in delivering an entertaining modern take on the original 1969 heist film, thanks to a charismatic cast.

The Italian Jobs is not unentertaining, and honestly it has some cool aspects. It's cast, while not good in any traditional sense, seems like they're having fun. Besides Norton, but I mean, he really did not want to do it. This one is just a good turn your mind off flick, maybe a tad superior to The Fast and Furious franchise.

I just love the car chase scene, but who doesn't? People might comment that this film is nothing but an expensive advertisement for a mini coop, but i don't really care.. I love Mark Wahlberg. I love cars even more!

Corbad | 55 22nd |

In the tradition of movies like Clooney's Oceans 11, this heist flick shoots for all style no substancebut the early 00s were a bit of a pit for style, honestly. In sum: utterly bland characters pose about and recite plans that only occasionally excite.

The movie opens in Venice, where a group of 6 crooks are about to pull off the heist of a lifetime $35million in gold & they plan to do it without holding a gun. The rogues gallery is comprised of: Charlie(Mark Wahlberg)young leader running his first big job, John(Donald Sutherland)the crusty veteran safecracker who is Charlie's mentor, Lyle(Seth Green)the computer whiz, Rob(Jason Statham)who once drove across the USA just so he could set the record for the longest freeway chase
