Worst movie I've seen in years

Rating: 1/10 (6 May 2003)

I am utterly amazed by the comments that have been left by other people who've seen this movie. My college was presenting a free preview screening of The Italian Job, and I STILL left feeling ripped off. The film is utterly absurd. The dialogue is among the most atrocious that I've ever seen. "You can do it" serves as inspiration. A single moment together is supposed to make the "subplot" of a love story believable. Even the car chases, which I'm told are what made the original stand out, are completely cookie-cutter and uninteresting. I haven't fallen asleep in a movie since I was a little kid, but it took several pokes from a friend to stop it from happening this time. Overall, the plot was ludicrous on all counts, there was absolutely no character development, and even the action scenes were mediocre at best. Hearing the praise that some have chosen to give this movie boggles my mind. It is perhaps one of the worst movies that will be released in 2003. Save your money. I didn't even pay any to see this tripe, but I still regret it. I could've gone bowling tonight, blast it...
