Decent Movie

Rating: 7/10 (29 August 2005)

Not the greatest picture, but an enjoyable enough movie.
POSSIBLE SPOILERS I like Mark Wahlberg's character. He plays Charlie, the tough, but easygoing leader of a gang of thieves. He is the heir apparent, and takes over leadership of the crew from retiring thief legend and father figure, played by Donald Sutherland. The crew pulls off a successful "Italian Job", a gold heist, but are ripped off by a slimy crewmember, played by Ed Norton. During the rip-off, Sutherland is killed.
The majority of the movie takes place a year later, as the crew forms once again to take revenge, and get the gold back.
The director keeps the action and the plot moving along pretty well, and the cast are likable, and seem to be having a good time.
Not an award winner, and there might be plot holes, but it is an enjoyable, decently made movie.
