The Italian Job (2003)

After one of their members double crosses them, a team of thieves plan a revenge heist to get back their take. A supposed remake of the fabulous 1969 film with the same title, this doesn’t share any of that film’s charm. I love a good heist film, but this isn’t one. The double cross is projected the moment the villain appears on screen. One of the most appealing members of the crew is murdered in its first scenes. A supposed romance between Mark Wahlberg and Charlize Theron has absolutely no chemistry. The heists are creative but are so quickly rendered that there’s little to savor. Instead the film is filled with chase scenes that come across as uninteresting commercials for Mini Coopers. Plus it has Seth Green at his most obnoxious.
