A real sleeper

Rating: Null/10 (31 May 2004)

I was pleasantly surprised to see Donald Sutherland make his appearance. It was even better when I realized they were high tech scoundrels. Being a high tech geek, I can really relate. The "Italian Job" was just to wet your taste buds and the movie just got better as it went on. High speed chases, ingenious plans, minimal violence make this movie enjoyable from the get go.
Donald Sutherland does a great job as the father figure. His maturity and knowledge show through. Mark Wahlberg does a wonderful job in playing the up and coming new leader of the gang. The supporting characters are wonderful in the respect that they show their young leader. Each one of the "gang" has their own expertise. They do their jobs well. The plot has a wonderful mix of action, humor and intrigue. I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone.
