Awesome remake, better than the original

Rating: Null/10 (17 June 2003)

i recently saw the original Italian Job, and liked it, I rented it because I am a fan of the video game and plus the new movie was about to be released. This film was far better than the first, higher budget, clever , well thought out heists that make you say the word WOW, over and over again. The car/boat chase scenes were really good , and man those Mini Coopers (both the new and old model) can help get you through traffic in a flash. Hmmm...makes me think NYC traffic is tough, I'm thinkin about buying one! but to sum it up, Acting was great in this movie, Mos Def is handling his business in hollywood, Wahlberg and Theron team up again in this one, I cant beleive how long it takes him to put a move on her already!! She is #1 on my list as far as beautiful actresses go. Great movie, awesome settings, direction and originality. *** 3 stars out of 4
