Though it bears little resemblance to the original 1969 thriller starring Michael Caine, the 2003 remake of The Italian Job stands on its own as a caper comedy that's well above average. The title's a misnomer--this time it's actually a Los Angeles job--but the action's just as exciting as it propels a breezy tale of honor and dishonor among competing thieves. Inheriting Caine's role as ace heist-planner Charlie Croker, Mark Wahlberg plays straight-man to a well-cast team of accomplices, including Mos Def, Jason Statham, and scene-stealer Seth Green in a variation of the role originally played by Noel Coward. As the daughter of Croker's ill-fated mentor (Donald Sutherland), Charlize Theron is recruited to double-cross a double-crosser (Edward Norton in oily villain mode), and once again, speedily versatile Mini Coopers play a pivotal role in director F. Gary Gray's exhilarating car-chase climax. It's perhaps the greatest product placement in movie history, and just as fun the second time around. --Jeff Shannon
Product Description
Paramount The Italian Job (Blu-ray)
The plan was flawless. The execution was perfect. Charlie Croker (Mark Wahlberg) pulled off the crime of a lifetime. The one thing that he didn't plan on was being double-crossed. Now he wants more than the job's payoff... he wants payback. Along with a drop-dead gorgeous safecracker (Charlize Theron), Croker and his team take off to re-steal the loot and end up in a pulse-pounding, pedal-to-the-metal chase that carens up, down, above and below the streets of Los Angeles. With an ensemble all-star cast that also includes Edward Norton, Seth Green, Jason Statham, Mos Def, Franky G and Donald Sutherland.

The Italian Job August 14, 2008
Warren Davies
This is a real "thriller". The plot moves right along and the acting is excellent. We watch this movie frequently.
 The Italian Job in HD August 8, 2008
S. Fielder
Although HD DVD lost the HD war, I still love it. The Italian Job looks great on a 1080p TV.
Great Movie, Great Price June 26, 2008

Fun movie June 16, 2008
Degrees (NJ)
A clever movie that is action packed. A definite must see. Mark Walhberg does a job in pulling off a heist in all sorts of creative ways.
Lots of surprises, good and bad. May 28, 2008
micki Schloss (Los Angeles)
Lots of surprises, good and bad. Acting is superb from all. Just a few slow spots that upset the pace a bit, but I really enjoyed this film four stars worth.
