FLAT, FLAT, FLAT, FLAT ...

Rating: Null/10 (19 September 2003)

So obsessed with being cool, they forgot a few key things.
Like ... ... hiring actors that looked like they gave a damn (poster boy for wooden actors worldwide Mark Wahlberg barely even WAKES UP to deliver most of his lines) ... ... building up any tension whatsoever ... avoiding the FLATTEST, FLATTEST, FLATTEST ending in the history of cinema - what were they THINKING???? It wasn't funny, it wasn't cool, it was hackneyed, it was unbelievably FLAT FLAT FLAT (have I made my point?)
Oh man I can't be bothered to whinge any more. The original Italian Job has more wit, fun and style in it's smallest wheel nut. Don't believe all the media hype - the remake is a fat, feathered turkey ...
