Above Average Action Crime Movie

Rating: 7/10 (4 April 2014)

I have to give them credit for making an original plot and not falling back on a remake of some tire 1960's film. However the plot was transparent from my point of view. There are no big moments of jaw dropping "Wow! I didn't know that was going to happen.".
The Italian job starts in Venice Italy and thus the name. After that the remainder and majority of this film is in sunny California. It is your basic revenge action robbery without police interference. Personally I think it was a wise idea to not show police, in this "style" of film, where you are cheering for the criminal to win.
Good cast and acting, along with great stunts and effects. While this was my very first viewing of the movie on Netflix, I quickly noticed that many scenes have been duplicated in the video game "GTA V" right down to the buildings. I was sitting there and looked at my brother, "Hey! We played this on GTA.". So you know the movie is cool when people plagiarize it.
