Stylish and entertaining

Rating: Null/10 (3 June 2003)

But am I the only one who felt cheated from an even better experience by having each and every plot turn revealed in the trailers?
I mean, opening heist scene ... we know Norton is going to double cross.
Developing the viewers affection for Donald Sutherland character ... we know Norton is going to plug him any minute.
We're going to make the truck disappear by blowing the street out from under it (a la the italian job in the opening) ... we've seen it happen a million times in the trailer.
Even small comic moments (when Wahlburg and Theron punch Norton) loose their comic effect ... again, we're watching for it, because we've seen it a million times in the previews.
It is a good enough film that it still engages the audience, but even if you never saw the original, the trailers rendered a "first viewing" like a a repeat viewing.
