Not very original but......

Rating: 7/10 (16 May 2005)

I didn't expect a whole lot from this film but was pleasantly surprised. Mark Walhberg was fantastic in the role of Charlie Croker and was the most original character of the bunch. But with Edward Norton once again playing the betraying thief (see The Score) I kept expecting for Robert De Niro to waltz on screen. I love Edward Norton and this sort of roles really suits him. The betrayal of the group was far too predictable, as was the ending. Because honestly, that's just how betraying heist movies are!! It was far more than I expected in the humor area, it gives you a few good laughs, mostly from Seth Green. Even though I had the entire plot and conclusion of the film figured out maybe 5 minutes into the movie, I enjoyed it greatly.
