italian job review
Ok face the facts. Sir Michael Caines 60s "the Italian job" really isn't as good as people say it is. Great fun, yes! Great film, no! But it doesn't really matter-taking on the remake with better imagination with similarities such as the title, and then it ending with a trio or minis.Lets start with the beginning, as with all modern films, they take the "James bond approach" and start with a huge action scene setting up for the rest of the story.It starts with the heist; and a brilliant heist it is too, I cool selection of soft stepping, loud bangs, speedboats and down right devious trickery. They get their hands on $35 million in gold bars from a safe ho
to create a scheme that'll snatch there gold back and get revenge. So who's in the team? Well there's the leader and master planner Charlie Crocker (mark Wahlberg), the man with the plan. Bridger's daughter Stella (Charlie Theron), an expert safe cracker and the back stabber Steve Frezelli (Edward Norton- who did not want to do the movie but was forced to by contract), weasely back stabber whose only talent is being sneaky and devious. There's Lyle (Seth Green), a tech whiz who swears he invented Napster. use in the center of Venice, they think they are on the road to riches when the get sent off by a murderous double crosser who takes the gold. Over all this is a great smash and grab movie! And a definite must see! I give it a fantastic 9/10 . There's Left-ear (Mos Def-A rapper), the explosives expert. After he kills Bridger the rest of the crew head off to L. The chase in both films over rule any other getaway but trying to decide which was better is like trying to decide weather butter is better than margarine, you cant compare them; the first was more daring maybe but the second was modern and we can have at least the slightest comparison of when they race a subway train and have to beat it to the end of the station and cut in front of it, and the film quality is much more enhanced and in the new movie we can get close ups of the chase and follow them more closely. Handsome Rob (Jason Statham-ex Olympic racer turned actor), is the wheelman. Unlike the first film, this one has a much better set up and has better twists, the original didn't seem to have any preparation at all (well apart from blowing up a van and smashing up a few minis-which I loved) this is more modern and has the more superior story line. With an all-star cast this film is a blend between "2 fast 2 furious" and "Oceans 11".
