This isn't the Italian Job you're looking for

Rating: 3/10 (18 June 2003)

Yes, it's got Mini Coopers. Yes, it's got a character called Charlie Croker, Yes, it's got someone called Mr Bridger, Yes, it's got gold stolen from an armoured car. Yes, it's got bits of the film shot in Italy.
Sadly, that's where the similarities with The Italian Job (1969) end, and this becomes an entirely different film not deserving of the title "The Italian Job". They should have, and could have, given this film it's own title, because it's an entirely different plot. For the rest of my comments, I shall refer to this film as IJ2003, and the original as The Italian Job.
There's a cameo role from a single Rover Mini Cooper, but the real action is BMW Mini Coopers; IJ2003 has far more violence and unnecessary killings, maybe this is a sign of the times. In 1969 very few criminals used 'shooters'.
In my opinion, if you have seen The Italian Job, and feel like watching IJ2003, because you liked the original film, don't bother. If you haven't seen The Italian Job, go and see the original first, admire it, then go and watch IJ2003, a totally different film without any preconceptions as to what it should be like. You might like some of the sequences. You'll probably come out of it realising that Paramount only made this film because they messed up on the American marketing on the original.
