The Italian Job : by F. Gary Gray

Italian Job is yet another heist movie which I have seen lately and it does disappoint a wee bit.

The premise of the movie starts in Venice , where in a team of 5 pull-off a sensational vault robbery planned to perfection!!

The events take a turn when the gold in the vault is snapped up by an avaricious member, Mark WahlBerg taking the plunge of planning out a revenge.

Charlize Theron , plays a vault deciphering specialist with the common goal of taking out the villiany out of Edward Norton.

The planning gone into the robbery in the second half of the reels is incredibly thought of.

Some of the high points of the film were :
  1. Use of Mini Coopers as their heist vehicles!!
  2. Tracking the truck carrying the gold worth 37 million!!
  3. The Climax blows the audience out
The downside of the film : Getting access to the US vehicular traffic control system was far-fetched!!!

No novelty for me after Ocean's Eleven,Twelve,Thirteen and The Inside Man!

Rating : 3.0/5.0
