Start your engines - Summer is here!

Rating: Null/10 (1 June 2003)

This ain't no "Ocean's Eleven" because it doesn't have megaton starpower and it relies on murderous violence for a lot of the plot motivation, but I suspect the average moviegoer will like it even more. Very tight, with a terrific mid-flick twist that I didn't see coming. Everyone is at least OK, even Marky Mark, though somebody like Brad Pitt would have been oh so much better. I am devoted to the original "Italian Job" - hopefully this flick will get a lot more people to check out the original, which is still a fine, wry comedy in the classical British style.
