A relatively tight thriller about a gold robbery a double-cross and revenge. The was some decent action and a few little plot twists that made up for the rather dull cast. The actual heists were well done but the car chases were not nearly as prominent as I thought they would be. One gripe is that the computer hacker played by Seth Green pretty much hacks his way into any and everything necessary to make the plot move along and to make the incredible possible. Hackers who can break into anything and control everything in movies is getting very tiring. This hacker manages to control all Los Angeles traffic lights and subways from his laptop. Sure...

GREAT HEIST MOVIE. GREAT CAST.

A enjoyable action flick about a BIG robbery. Fast paced and pepped up with some intrigues within the gangster organization. Prepare for some plot twists...

This film although has the penitential to be a great heist film feel short of something special. While The Italian Job has an excellent cast and the heist themselves were entertaining to watch unfold, the plot seemed mild to me with the element of a revenge flick mixed in which it doesn't pull off well. Besides the plot overall The Italian Job was very thrilling to watch even for just seeing the cast and the heists themselves and still better than most other films in its genre.

I think I have said it before, but I tend to enjoy these heist movies way too much. The Italian Job is by no means stellar film making, but it's got decent acting, some really good and exciting heists, and of course...Charlize Theron. I don't need much more to feel entertained, and I highly doubt anyone else that likes heist movies need more either.
