Italian Job (Crime/Thriller/Action, 111 minutes) Starring Mark Wahlberg, Edward Norton, Charlize Theron, Jason Statham, Seth Green, Mos Def, Donald Sutherland. Directed by F. Gary Gray.
Oft-told story of a bunch of professional thieves pulling the heist of their career, only to be betrayed by one greedy member.
This time, the avaricious one is played by Norton, who seems to be able to switch from good to bad guy by simply by blinking his eyes.
A year after Norton keeps all the fortune (blocks of gold with a Bali dancer printed on each of them), the rest of the gang prepare a smart plan to repossess the gold with the help of professional safety box hacker Theron.
Enjoyably satisfying old-school crime drama with excellent performances and a smooth storyline, but it's still nothing new.**1/2
