5/5
Great Action Movie
by R. Sattler (Beaverton, OR USA)
This is a great action movie, even better than the original IMHO. I had seen this before on regular DVD but decided to purchase the HD-DVD version. It is a heist film - stealing gold from some double-crossing folks in the past, then a double cross by one of the robbers in the group. Getting the gold back is the highlight of the movie. The boat chase scene in Venice is great - did you know they had to get special permission to do it and I'd imagine the the folks in Venice will never let that happen again due to the amount of wake created during filming (ever seen a powerboat in the waterways of Venice? The wakes cause damage to the structures).
Great deal of action sequences, great sound - all made better in HD. If you want to see an excellent action film, with good vs. evil elements, and a great car chase - get this flick. You won't be disappointed.
4/5
This 'Italian Job" okay popcorn entertainment in HD
by Dennis W. Wong
Much has been written about the below average HD transfer of this remake in HD DVD and Blu-ray but this doesn't ruin the movie for me since I've seen a lot worse transfers than this. Anyway if you're familiar with the Michael Caine original than you'll even enjoy this revisionist remake of the '70s film. Wahlberg makes a fine hero, Theron is nice to look at and Edward Norton is a lot of fun as the villain you'd love to hate. If you liked "Oceans 11" then you'll enjoy this. I've knocked one star for the video quality of this in HD but the price of this in HD DVD versus the Blu-ray is so obscenely low that it definitely ranks as a best buy. Like would you pay $5 or $6 for this disc in HD or close to $20 in Blu-ray--go figure. Anyway if you like Wahlberg also check out in HD DVD, "Four Brothers" and "Shooter" all at a bargain basement price in HD DVD!!
5/5
Love it
by Camellia (Japan)
Mini is a great car!! And the movie was fantastic!! Mark, I love you :D
4/5
Surpisingly good movie
by Tony Beebe
I still think Marky Mark is the weak spot in an otherwise engaging action movie. A lot of stars in the pic right before they broke out like Jason Statham, Ed Norton and Charlize Theron. All were in many movies before, but it wasn't long after this movie that most became household names. Watching this movie, you can understand their trajectory.
Nice heist movie and it supposedly has as sequel coming.. .
The Italian Job [HD DVD] Summary
The Plan Was Flawless. The Execution Was Perfect. Charlie Croker 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. Mark Wahlberg Is Electrifying As Croker In This "fast And Furious Action-adventure."* 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 Careens 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 Is "hot!"
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.
