Review – The Italian Job (2002)

I haven’t yet seen the original, so at this point I can’t compare the two. I expect the Cooper Minis played a prominent role in the first version. Beyond that, however, this is a typical Hollywood caper movie. Marky Mark stars as the brains (yeah, no kidding) behind a gold-theft scheme that goes awry when he and his quirky cohort are betrayed by the most sullen of their number (performance phoned in by Ed Norton). Big production values but not a whole big bunch beyond that. Mildly amusing
