Seth ruins it an otherwise passable remake

Rating: Null/10 (9 June 2003)

Ok, who got the idea that Seth Green was even tolerable in a movie? The Italian Job remake has its moments, but half of these are ruined by Seth Green. The supposed "key nerd", he plays the part in his usual way, which is all wrong here. The nerd part is supposed to make you say "cool" a lot -- instead I kept saying, over and over again "this guy is not in the slightest bit believable".
This was my last attempt at tolerating Seth Green. If I see his name in the credits of any future film I will automatically avoid that movie. I don't need a total downer when I watch a movie.
As to the movie itself, it has an ok plot, some good casting but suffers in the realism department -- SMALL SPOILER -- for example, how *did* they lift a ton of "stuff" away in the opening scenes? If they had equipment for that, I missed it. -- END SMALL SPOILER --
Summary: This movie doesn't decide what it is supposed to be. Mostly a "caper" movie, it lacks realism. Having lots of character development, yet Seth Green's presences says "Austin Powers 33 1/3". Watchable moments but ultimately disappointing. 5 out of 10.
