Italian Job, The (2003, USA/GBR/FRA) C-111m. SCOPE ** D: F. Gary Gray. Starring Mark Wahlberg, Charlize Theron, Donald Sutherland, Jason Statham, Seth Green, Mos Def, Edward Norton. After performing a daring heist in Venice, Italy, Wahlberg's men are double-crossed by Norton. Theron, whose father got killed in the mishap, is enlisted to help Wahlberg's gang to crack Norton's safe… not an easy feat. Pumped up with flashy editing and cool situations, but story is a yawn and script's contrivances don't help. Difficult to imagine this is based on a 1969 movie starring Michael Caine.
