Gray adds some zip to this remake of the 1969 Michael Caine caper flick, but despite two clever action sequences and some uncharacteristically tight performances from his cast (most notably Charlize Theron and Mark Wahlberg), the con remains the same.

Wide-open absurdity would've helped; instead, there's a clotting of musical interludes and a general air of stoic grit.
July 08, 2003
A strangely satisfying though completely preposterous caper movie.

Gary Gray's version is tauter, better made but insufficiently idiosyncratic to attract a cult following.

A fun bit of action comedy with a bang up cast.

It is in Gray's spirited execution that such by-the-book formula makes for a brisk, slick entertainment hits the summer movie spot.

Itresembles a film made up on the fly. The cast, too, are strictly cut from comic books. Don't expect any unconventional endings either.

The Italian Job turns out well, a fast and entertaining caper designed to give you a couple of fun hours.

This unglamorous approach has the odd effect of making them seem more glamorous -- we're free to soak up their star quality because there's no hard sell to fight off.
June 05, 2003
A tricked-out remake of a heist flick that was already flat and formulaic in 1969.
May 06, 2008
This one offers some agreeably mindless fun in which the villains (including Norton) are truly villainous, the payback is satisfying in a purely infantile way, and the familiarity of everything is oddly comforting.

Exciting heist film for teens and their families.
