The Italian Job: Movie Review

hi folks, back for another round of reviewing, so here goes.

A small team of experts work out the perfect job to heist 35million worth of gold bars from Italy. they pull the heist off without a hitch and are on the way home when one teammate feels he wasnt credited enough for his work, so he wants it all to himself. After a year on the run, the rouge cracker gets tracked down by the group, for a very suspenseful, and tastefully done cat and mouse game.

Although the plot line has been done to death(ie. The Heist, The Score, etc.), this movie adds in very exciting chase sequences, and a decent all around cast to provide the action, suspense, and humor(there are some great lines in this one). this movie was enjoyable to watch, and kept me tied to the screen. The music didnt really work for me in this film, and some parts were just too unbelieveable for me.

2-1/2 stars out of 4. Rated PG-13 for violence, and prolly something else, but who knows:)

cant be as good as the original with Michael Caine ;)

LOL - is this a re-make? It didn't rip off too much if that's the case and the minis in the original rocked :)

BTW - Ronin has one of the best chase scenes in a movie IMO :)

I totally agree i watched that film on tv last night and i have it on DVD too , that film rocks!!!

OMG yes Ronin rules!!

nexy favorite movie prob has to be Training Day and Van Wilder Party Liason...... Crual Intentions isn't bad either..

What model and year is the BMW the actor from "The Transporter" drive up in when they all meet? The scene where Seth Green is riding the bike and drops it. The actor from the trasporter is the character in the movie that gets the girls and is the expert driver little/bald hair british accent. its an older BMW not sure what it is... please some one let me know!!!

:alien:

i was wondering the same about that car, its freakin badass. i also wonder why they used one Cooper S and two regular ones....:confused: But i've been waiting to see what you had to say about it, i saw it the sunday before it came out for free :finger:

that bmw is an early 90's 850is V-12, ronin's chase scene is by far the best ive ever seen.
