In this wholly refreshing remake of the 1969 crime classic starring Michael Caine and Noel Coward, Mark Wahlberg stars as Charlie Croker, a smooth thief who orchestrates a flawless heist in Venice with the help of his mentor, safecracker John Bridger (Donald Sutherland). Together with his cronies--explosives expert Left-Ear (Mos Def), tech whiz kid Lyle (Seth Green), adrenaline junky Handsome Rob (Jason Statham), and the shady Steve (Edward Norton)--Charlie walks away with thirty-five million dollars worth of precious gold bars. But just when the gang appears to be headed to freedom, Steve performs a heist of his own, killing John and running off with the gold, thinking that Charlie and his mates are all deceased. A year later, Charlie has located Steve, who is gradually selling off the gold bars in Los Angeles. With the help of John's beautiful daughter Stella (Charlize Theron), a brilliant safecracker in her own right--as well as those adorable Mini Cooper sports cars--Charlie orchestrates a revenge heist that will teach Steve a valuable lesson about loyalty once and for all. F. Gary Gray's thoroughly entertaining caper film doesn't merely imitate the original, and that is what makes it such a pleasant surprise.

Only the Minis survive in this remake, which is otherwise a straightforward revenge thriller with little wit or interest.

Underrated Heist Movie
Great little underrated heist movie this. Forget the title, it is not a remake of the overrated Michael Caine film, but more of a tribute. Edward Norton just ... read more »

Nowhere near as good as the earlier version
Certainly nowhere near as good as the earlier version. You need to see the original first so that at least you can appreciate some of the ways in which the '... read more »

The Italian Job
My son wanted to watch both of these to compare. This is not a remake of the original, it has it's own story and is equally as good as the other. A good fun... read more »

Pleasantly impressed with a re-make.....
I don't usually like re-runs / re-makes of a an old classic film, especially one as good as the 1969 Italien Job staring Michael Caine. But this was ... read more »
Things are working out for Mark Wahlberg. His last three movies have done very nicely, thanks, at the box office, with decent reviews to match. Entourage, the HBO show he helped put together, and which is based on his own experience as an up-and-comer in Hollywood, is still riding high in the ratings. And then he took a supporting role to work with Martin Scorsese in The Departed and stole away with an Academy Award - which is more than his old Basketball Diaries pal Leonardo DiCaprio has...
