Who Doesn't Like A Good Heist Flick?

Rating: Null/10 (10 June 2003)

I do. This is not a good heist flick. This is not a bad heist flick. A mediocre movie with mediocre acting. Actually, the two leads (Mark Wahlberg and Charlize Theron) were the only two actors that I had problems warming up to. Performances by Jason Statham, Seth Green, and Mos Def were all very well done, although it seems that the last three films that I have seen with Jason Statham he has played a wheelman of sorts, typecasting? I don't know. Some of the jokes were lame (i.e. The pseudo-subplot of Seth Green's character) and the moustache on Edward Norton's face kept distracting me but that didn't keep me from having a good time. Hey, free movie, even bad movies are good when they're free. Poor Edward Norton, he could have been off making a better movie yet was bound to this. Again, this isn't a bad movie, simply mediocre. Seriously, what was with that moustache! It was like, lopsided and looked utterly ackward on Norton. This piles amongst other annoyances like acting ability and speakers blowing women's clothes off. The plot was predictible, but what can you expect? Charlize Theron was hot, but what can you expect? It had some decent action too. End.
