It certainly didn't warrant the philsophical discussion that the Matrix does, but I enjoyed The Italian Job.
1) Edward Norton is so good at playing smarmy assholes.
2) Some of the comic relief was quite clever (e.g, Left Ear and Napster)
3) It's weird but fun to watch a chase scene between Minis and Motorcycles |

I saw the sneak preview of this two weeks ago, and I enjoyed it too. Definitely a turn your brain off kind of movie, but certainly entertaining.
And Turkish from "Snatch" was in it! |

werd, if u liked snatch, you should see Guy Richies movie that came out before it that was alot better in my opinion, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. The guy is in that too.
Not to say snatch wasnt good, but i liked lock stock alot more. |
Remember, turn off your tv. Read. |

Hey Teri, do you remember that one of my fave movies growing up was called The Italian Job? It was a comedy that involved a robbery and and a chase in tiny cars, mini's to be more precise and creating a huge traffic jam. Was this a remake of that or is it just a coincidence? I don't get the impression the new one is a comedy, but I guess it may be based on the old movie. The 1969 Italian Job with Michael Caine is still one of my fave flicks of all TIMe.
