Enjoyable but pointless

Rating: 7/10 (14 October 2008)

I really enjoyed the Italian Job with Michael Caine i thought it was a exciting,funny and a perfect Brit action/comedy. This one though i had mixed emotions, Maybe if i never saw the original i could give it 9 or maybe even a 10 but after only recently seeing the original i just couldn't like it as much. But i do admit that it was better than expected i will give the producers and writers a pat on the back because mainly when Hollywood remake a classic British film it is awful but this beats the average remake, I liked the cast even though i'm usually not to fond of most of them though like Mark Whalberg even though he seems like a nice guy i just think he makes to many poor choices and he same for Charlize Theron i think she's talented and very pretty i think a she has quite a long list of bad choices but i liked them both in this.
Overall-I found it better the than expected i taught the acting and writing were very good and the way they make the truck "Disappear" gives two thumps up from me. But it lacks the humour and action of the original.
I am relieved they didn't ruin "You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off" none of the cast could have pulled it off better than Sir Michael Caine
