In this 2003 remake of the 1969 British heist film, a world mastermind played by Mark Wahlberg creates a crew or men and women to heist a gold bullion in Venice, Italy. 
I wasn't too impressed with the acting and the fact they used Charlize Theoron as the safecracker since the pint sized Mini Coopers had more sex appeal than her. I think the only reason they used Theoron is because her father was in the original flick. Oh well....The Italian Job did have it's own flavor, it was well choreographed and original, especially the crazy chase scene consisting of all mini-coopers. Overall, I think The Italian Job was badly cast and hyped up way too much. 

Rating: * * * * *  3 out of 5 stars

Verdict: An okay flick if you really like it's grounding but I recommend renting Ocean's Eleven instead.
