Great Heist Action

Rating: 8/10 (31 March 2012)

Sometimes a remake is a total dud, but this remake of the Michael Caine classic does a pretty good job. "The Italian Job" has a group of thieves seeking to take revenge on a former partner-in-crime who double-crossed them. In a way, the whole movie is a giant car chase, but it's clever enough so that it never gets ridiculous or idiotic.
Mark Wahlberg, Charlize Theron, Edward Norton, Mos Def, Jason Statham, Seth Green, and Donald Sutherland all do a great job. I know that these stunts are all really dangerous, but I still wish to assert that it would be neat to experience this movie, especially the whole scene in the metro. To paraphrase a famous quote: "It's all in the cars." As for the sexual act to which I believed that the title referred, I think that you know which one I mean (I'm probably not allowed to say it here).
