2003 - THE ITALIAN JOB, the remake

Because Hollywood is completely out of ideas, we have the remake of The Italian Job.

The producers kept the basic idea of the gold heist and the escape using Mini Coopers. To give them credit they did try to vary the plot for this film.  The action scenes have been hyped up, because that is what they do in remakes.  The problem is the sense of fun is completely missing from the film.

About the only thing to recommend it is Charllize Theron who is at the peak of her beauty.

 

The film was written by Donna Powers and Wayne Powers.

Running time is 110 minutes but it seemed a lot longer.
