The Italian job



I saw this movie The Italian Job. starring Mark Wahlberg and Charlize theron. Mark you must be remembering from the Departed as the last man standing in the movie. in this film he plays Charlie the master mind behind a heist. The way they brought down (literally) the safe was seriously amazing. but it was just a precursor to the things to come. after pulling it off beautifully, one of their gang betrays them and takes the gold all for himself. the rest of the story is how they track him and get the gold back from him. a repeat of the safe bringing down incident takes place but this time they bring an entire armoured vehicle down. (to know what i am speaking of grab a packet of chips and watch the movie;)


though the techniques used were good, it was a sort of deja vu. a few things were predictable.

charlize theron was hot property wasted in the movie. jus to add to the glamour quotient. she plays an important part in the film as the one who cracks the safe.

edward norton, of Fight Club fame was a bit too crass here. a villain, i expect, need to be strong person. meaning a seemingly invincible fellow and not like a stupid crook who has money with him.
the rest of the crew deserve no special mention. a rating of 7 would do for the film
