Not a bad film, but the wrong name

Rating: 7/10 (26 December 2013)

As far as heist/crime/action films go, this one isn't bad and is worth a watch on a Sunday evening, after tea. It's full of action and enough silliness to keep it entertaining.
What does suck though is the title. This movie should have never, ever been called the Italian Job. It's practically sacrilege to the original, to give it this moniker and to give the lead character the name of Charlie Croker.
Anyone for 'The life of Brian 2' starring Jim Carrey and set in downtown New Yoik? Thought not...
The only other gripe, and it's a personal, picky crime, (that not only this movie is guilty of), is when will movie makers get the sound right on motorbikes? IT'S A TWIN CYLINDER DUCATI FFS! I don't expect the exact replica sound to come ringing through my TV, but for crying out loud, a twin engined bike should sound like a twin, not a bloody R1. It's like removing the sound of an elephant and replacing it with a lion. Slap-dash sound editing.
7/10
